Can I read this book if I only know how to code ? None of that maths computer science stuff
>>51468089
no.
>>51468096
It looks so interesting though
>>51468149
yes, but it's full of math.
>>51468164
Then that's not art.
>>51468089
From what I understand, TAOCP is grad-level CS math stuff, so no.
>>51468164
you can't avoid the math forever,
better learn now when you don't need it
>>51468170
shame on you
bet you "program" html and webshit
Yes. The maths are very simple and there's a preliminaries chapter.
>>51468089
There is not much "math" math in it to be honestly.
Why is Knuth waiting so long to release all of it ffs, he's been writing this shit for 40 years
>>51468633
To make it as good as he can, it would be his life legacy.
>>51468654
but he will obviously die before finishing it. There's no way he will make vol 6 and 7
>>51468170
The art of turning all that math into something 'real' is the art of it anon.
>>51468633
He's actually pulled out of teaching and other engagements now in the hopes of completing it.

This. He looks like a million years old these days. Maybe he's already written everything and we'll get a posthumous release.
>>51468739
he's 77. We can't expect him to be alive for much long.
>>51468089
Probably there is not a single person on /g/ that read all volumes
