  <default_description>Knuth's multivolume work, widely  recognized as the definitive description of classical computer science, is now available in an attractive, boxed set. The three volumes included in this set have each been revised recently to reflect developments in the field. As earlier editions clearly demonstrated, they comprise an invaluable resource in programming theory and practice for students, researchers, and practitioners alike. Countless readers have spoken about the profound personal influence of Knuth's work.  Scientists have marveled at the beauty and elegance of his analysis, while ordinary programmers have successfully applied his &quot;cookbook&quot; solutions to their day-to-day problems. All have admired Knuth for the breadth, clarity, accuracy, and good humor found in his books.  &lt;P&gt;See descriptions of each individual volume for more information.</default_description>
