Within the subject matter covered by volumes 1 through 3, can you name any important algorithm (i.e., algorithm used by a significant percentage of today's programmers) not mentioned by Knuth? Can you name an important field---newer than 1973, or 1981 for the second volume--- that Knuth doesn't cover but that would logically fit into his books? (Keep in mind that compilers, for example, will be covered in a later volume if Knuth ever stops working on TeX.) I'm listening. ---Dan
