Donald Knuth 2023 Christmas lecture

[Stanford Lecture: Dr. Don Knuth - Dancing Cells (2023) - YouTube](https://youtu.be/622iPkJfYrI) I haven't watched it yet, so I can't comment. Apparently, Stanford has made many of the Christmas lectures available, so there's plenty of watching, for those so inclined.

I really wanted to watch it but age has crept up on him and he's so hard to follow, I couldn't watch but a few minutes. I have two of his books and they are incredible. What a brilliant human being.

Thanks! :thumbsup: I've heard much about Donald Knuth through the years, but somehow just never got one of his books. Seeing the examples, and learning of the dancing links/cells, I will be getting one of his books in the near future. Arrays, structure arrays, self-referencing arrays, pointer arrays, etc. are things that interest me. :)

If you are interested in algorithms, treat yourself to The Art of Computer Programming, 3rd Edition. To date, there are 5 volumes and Knuth plans to add more as long as he holds out. They aren't cheap, but they will tell you more than you ever wanted to know about algorithms.

A gentler and more student-friendly book on Algorithms is written by his doctoral student and also a noted Professor himself, Robert Sedgewick. This is one of my favourites.

I have both, but I prefer Knuth for its comprehensiveness. Also, my lecturer in Data Structures and Algorithms (many moons ago) used Knuth's style when describing algorithms, so I'm used to it.
