Can you guys identify any books in Knuth's room? I just spotted Hackers Delight (on his left) :)
- ovi256 18y agoWell, I can see: "The C?????? Oxford English Dictionary", bellow the clock. "Graph Theory", just behind the humidifier thingy. A pity the resolution is not better.
- simplegeek 18y agoYa, also there is Cormen's book & Unicode 1.0 (I guess--not sure) :)
- enf 18y agoThat's Unicode 3.0 if you are referring to the shelf on the left, above the stereo.
- nadim 18y agoThe Complete Oxford English Dictionary.
- enf 18y agoCompact Oxford English Dictionary, I think.
- tjr 18y agoKnuth's own TeX series (TeXbook, Metafont book, etc) is on one of the shelves.
- tjr 18y agoAlso: what is that painting on the wall?
- simplegeek 18y agoI also cannot figure that out but it seems amazing, too. Anyone, knows what this is (and artists' name)?
- OtherMichael 18y agodollars-to-donuts its an Ed (Edward) Ruscha. I've got a book filled with his word-phrase images.
- simplegeek 18y agoBook name ?
- OtherMichael 18y agoThey Called Her Styrene: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0714840114 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0714840114 Yes, the print on the right; no idea about the print on the left.
- tjr 18y agoAhhh... I was referring to the painting on the left, the image of the library. Methinks you were referring to the painting on the right?
- dragonquest 18y agoJust above the paper he's reading I think - System Progamming by John Donovon.
