What is Donald Knuth famous for?
Donald Knuth is an American mathematician and computer scientist most famous for his contributions to the study of algorithms and inventing the TeX typesetting language.
What did Donald Knuth do for computer science?
He practically created the field of rigorous analysis of algorithms, and made many seminal contributions to several branches of theoretical computer science. He is also the creator of the TeX typesetting system and of the METAFONT font design system, and pioneered the concept of literate programming.
What did Donald Knuth win the Turing Award for?
In 1974 Knuth was awarded the ACM's Alan M. Turing Award, with the citation specifically citing his book series.

Will the art of computer programming be finished?
The project isn't completed, but another extract, or Fascicle, has just been published and the project is still moving on. That the Art of Computer Programming still isn't finished adds to its status as a cultural icon, but some people argue that a cultural icon is all it is.
What does a computer scientist do?
On the job, computer scientists use technology to solve problems and prepare for the future. They also write and program software to create applications. Their primary focus, however, is to validate and develop models for interaction between people and computers or software and devices.
What is the highest award in computer science?
The Turing Award is recognized as the "highest distinction in computer science" and "Nobel Prize of Computing". The award is named after Alan Mathison Turing, mathematician and reader in mathematics at the University of Manchester.
Did Alan Turing get a Nobel Prize?
It is generally recognized as the highest distinction in computer science and is known as or often referred to as "Nobel Prize of Computing". The award is named after Alan Turing, who was a British mathematician and reader in mathematics at the University of Manchester.
