Art of Computer Programming, The: Combinatorial Algorithms, Volume 4B Review: Heavy duty computer science - I have all of Knuth's books. I have read them all too. They are NOT light reading, they are heavy duty text books revealing the basics of computer science. I can pretty much guarantee you'll be a professional if you get through these and understand them. Work the exercises, they cause you to remember where to use the technique and how to combine them to do useful things. Review: Instant Classic - This fifth volume in Knuth's "The Art of Computer Programming" continues the level of excellence of the previous volumes. The content includes an overview of backtracking methods for solving various combinatorial problems, then moves on to exact cover problems and variations thereon and finally satisfiability problems. Applications of exact cover problems include solving Sudoku puzzles, four-coloring maps, and finding fault-free tilings of rectangles. Satisfiability is the prototypical NP complete problem, so improvements in SAT solvers improve our ability to solve a great number of problems with real-world applications. As with all TAOCP books, the exercises are the best part. They are numerous, cover a wide range of topics, and are marked with difficulty estimates to help the reader know what they are getting into before they start. But I encourage all readers to try some of the exercises. Computer science is not a spectator sport and trying the exercises helps cement in the material. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #579,794 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #113 in Software Design & Engineering #577 in Software Development (Books) #1,496 in Computer Software (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.9 4.9 out of 5 stars (94) | | Dimensions | 6.88 x 1.65 x 9.63 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0201038064 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0201038064 | | Item Weight | 3.84 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 736 pages | | Publication date | October 8, 2022 | | Publisher | Addison-Wesley Professional | ## Images ![Art of Computer Programming, The: Combinatorial Algorithms, Volume 4B - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51OUpAK-y6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heavy duty computer science *by S***A on August 15, 2025* I have all of Knuth's books.

It’s like you are dancing a waltz without a partner; you may move across the floor - but you haven’t truly experienced a ballroom dance. What you discover is text + time spent solving some of the exercises gives you not just a deeper understanding of the material, but let’s you feel you are in his class - learning from him - and you feel pride in solving the problems. My point: Knuth’s text is a joy - but how he structures those exercises - that’s sublime, and in my opinion, it’s text + exercises together that make these books the best academic texts I’ve read in any subject. ## Frequently Bought Together - Art of Computer Programming, The: Combinatorial Algorithms, Volume 4B - Art of Computer Programming, The: Combinatorial Algorithms, Volume 4A, Part 1 - MMIX Supplement, The: Supplement to The Art of Computer Programming Volumes 1, 2, 3 by Donald E.
