I take it that your students didn't read Don Knuth's wonderful book on

Shame--I found that to be a very entertaining tome.
I love it. My favorite volume.
I agree - marvelous books.
One of the software developers here actually won one of the Knuth
$1.00 award checks for finding a typo in the 4th volume when that came out.

BTW, I have a signed copy of Don's first published work.
(Potrzebie System Of Weights And Measures" in Mad Magazine June 1957.)
ps - Amazing - I had never heard of that!
