Just read The Art Of Computer Programming by Knuth very slowly. There's basically a different algorithm every other page. Of course, it will still take you years.
- e19293001 10y agoDonald Knuth says he usually writes his book 1 page a day[0]: Usually when I write a book I finish about one page a day, I mean if the book is 365 pages long it takes me a year, if it's 500 pages long it takes me a year and a half. So its just normal to read it very slowly. [0] - https://github.com/kragen/knuth-interview-2006 https://github.com/kragen/knuth-interview-2006
