	Donald Ervin Knuth Biography \| World of Computer Science
		Knuth first demonstrated his ability to recognize and manipulate patterns when he formed 4,500 different words from a local candy maker's brand name, thus winning first prize in an eighth-grade contest.
		Knuth's next project involved delineating what does or does not constitute a programming language; in other words, what exactly is meant by "programming language." He found an economical way to associate rules of interpretation, what he called "attribution rules," thus founding at the same time a sub-field of computer science called attribution grammar.
		Perhaps Knuth's most original contribution to the field of computer science was his monumental work on the analysis of algorithms, which was an offshoot of his work with compilers (as mentioned earlier).

	Donald Knuth
		Donald Ervin Knuth (born January 10, 1938 in Milwaukee, Wisconsin) is a foremost computer scientist and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University.
		Knuth is the author of 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated (1991), ISBN 0895792524, in which he attempts to examine the Bible by a process of "stratified random sampling," namely an analysis of chapter 3, verse 16 of each book.
		Knuth published his first "scientific" article in a school magazine in 1957 under the title "Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures," part of which included defining the fundamental unit of length as the thickness of MAD magazine #26, and naming the fundamental unit of force "whatmeworry".

	Donald Knuth Summary
		Knuth became a professor at Stanford University in 1968, and remains with Stanford as a professor emeritus.
		Knuth published his first "scientific" article in a school magazine in 1957 under the title "Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures." In it, he defined the fundamental unit of length as the thickness of MAD magazine #26, and named the fundamental unit of force "whatmeworry".
		Knuth's first "mathematical" article was a short paper submitted to a "science talent search" contest for high-school seniors in 1955, and published in 1960, in which he discussed number systems where the radix was negative.

		Donald attended Lutheran schools and from the special emphasis that was placed on English grammar in these schools came Knuth's love of investigating sentence structure.
		The problem was that Knuth did not believe in himself at this stage in his life and so his teachers doubted whether he had the personality, in particular the confidence, to succeed.
		One day when Knuth was meant to be performing with the College band he missed the bus taking the band to the performance so, finding himself with free time, he tried to solve a challenge problem that one of his mathematics professors had set.

		Donald Ervin Knuth is trying to explain what has delayed work on Volume 4 of his magnum opus.

		To them, Knuth, now professor emeritus of the art of computer programming at Stanford University, is irrelevant, abstruse and bothersome because he illustrates concepts in machine code, the lowest-level programming language and the hardest to read.

	Donald Knuth at AllExperts
		After producing the third volume of his series in 1976, he expressed such frustration with the nascent state of the then newly developed electronic publishing tools (esp. those which provided input to phototypesetters) that he took time out to work on typesetting and created the and METAFONT tools.
		Knuth's first "mathematical" article was a short paper submitted to a "sciencetalent search" contest for high-school seniors in 1955, and published in 1960,in which he discussed number systems where the radix was negative.
		He further generalized this to number systems where the radix was a complex number.In particular, he defined the quater-imaginary number system, which uses the imaginary number 2i as the base, having the unusual feature that every complex number can be represented with the digits 0, 1, 2, and 3, without a sign.
