ABSTRACT

The book "Selected Papers in Discrete Mathematics" is a compilation of work published (plus some unpublished papers) by Donald E. Knuth, in the area of discrete mathematics. Clearly, the author does not need any introduction, and is well known by his authoritative work in areas such analysis of algorithms and digital typography. However, more than this, Knuth is a great example of good expositor and writer. Thus, even if your interests are not directly related to the more mathematical areas of computer science, it is greatly rewarding to read this book as a way of learning how to write good papers.
