The latest volume in Knuth's "Selected Papers" series, "Selected Papers on Design of Algorithms" is due out any day now. (According to Amazon, it was supposed to be released on the 15th, but my pre-ordered copy still hasn't shipped...)

Yep, I am also waiting. I got the Selected Papers on Analysis of Algorithms, Discrete Math, Computer Science and now waiting for this.

Are you planning on posting notes for the Papers, or are you going to do the "Musings" videos first?

I am going to intermix Musings and Papers. Some weeks will post Musings videos, some weeks notes of Papers. The next Knuth related post will be Musings.

I went to Case and was a border (renter, not member) one summer in his former fraternity's house (Theta Chi). Kind of cool to see the composite photos from the late 50's which included him.

Wow, I didn't know he was in Theta Chi. When I was going to Case, that place was straight out of Revenge of the Nerds.

Believe it or not, the CWRU library didn't even own all the volumes of AoCP until I put in a request for them.

He looks so old for 20.

I think that's from his style, not his physical looks.

Probably because he was wise beyond his years...
