Another warning...
You will be advised to get your PhD in Mathematics.
After this you will need to get a PhD in Computing.
Ah Hell...chuck in Philosophy & Psychology as well.....BEFORE you even attempt 
to OPEN the sacred "Knuth: The art of computing"

If you do not heed the above warning, you might accidently open this book only 
to have your head EXPLODE!

On a more serious note:
Anyone seen vol 3 and above of knuth?
Apparently there are supposed to be 7 or 8 vols?
