    Donald Knuth Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus Curriculum Vitae Available Online

    Donald Knuth Fletcher Jones Professor of Computer Science, Emeritus Curriculum Vitae available Online Bio BIO Donald Ervin Knuth is an American computer scientist, mathematician, and Professor Emeritus at Stanford University. He is the author of the multi-volume work The Art of Computer Programming and has been called the "father" of the analysis of algorithms. He contributed to the development of the rigorous analysis of the computational complexity of algorithms and systematized formal mathematical techniques for it. In the process he also popularized the asymptotic notation. In addition to fundamental contributions in several branches of theoretical computer science, Knuth is the creator of the TeX computer typesetting system, the related METAFONT font definition language and rendering system, and the Computer Modern family of typefaces. As a writer and scholar,[4] Knuth created the WEB and CWEB computer programming systems designed to encourage and facilitate literate programming, and designed the MIX/MMIX instruction set architectures. As a member of the academic and scientific community, Knuth is strongly opposed to the policy of granting software patents. He has expressed his disagreement directly to the patent offices of the United States and Europe.

A corresponding command, \greektxt, is also defined. Of course there are some differences, but it has been used extensively and it is useful. 1 Introduction When using pdfLaTeX and babel, language changes are done with babel’s lan- guage switching commands \selectlanguage, \foreignlanguage or with the environments otherlanguage and otherlanguage*. They work fine, but some- times it is better to have a more “agile” command or environment that can be used at least in place of the last three commands or environments. Some more extra functionalities may be desirable, such as the possibility of specifying a different default font family or to switch font family for a particular stretch of Greek text. This small module does exactly what is described above; it has been created only to be used with pdfLaTeX, therefore if it gets loaded with a package that will be run with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTex it will complain loudly and its loading will be aborted; no, not simply that: the only way to exit from this wrong situation is to quit compilation.

    This page intentionally left blank STEPS IN SCALA An Introduction to Object-Functional Programming Object-functional programming is already here. Scala is the most prominent rep- resentative of this exciting approach to programming, both in the small and in the large. In this book we show how Scala proves to be a highly expressive, concise, and scalable language, which grows with the needs of the programmer, whether professional or hobbyist. Read the book to see how to: • leverage the full power of the industry-proven JVM technology with a language that could have come from the future; • learn Scala step-by-step, following our complete introduction and then dive into spe- cially chosen design challenges and implementation problems, inspired by the real-world, software engineering battlefield; • embrace the power of static typing and automatic type inference; • use the dual object and functional oriented natures combined at Scala’s core, to see how to write code that is less “boilerplate” and to witness a real increase in productivity. Use Scala for fun, for professional projects, for research ideas. We guarantee the experience will be rewarding. Christos K. K. Loverdos is a research inclined computer software profes- sional.

In the authors’ opinion, these checks are useful in the features of the Scala programming language. The developed mastering how to write correct programs because similar emulator provides rich opportunities for program debugging, such as tracking intermediate steps of program execution, an errors often occur in a modern program despite all changes in opportunity to run a program in the binary or the decimal mode hardware and software technologies. Therefore, it would be of MIX, verification of correct synchronisation of input/output helpful if an emulator supported running programs in different operations. Such Scala features as cross-compilation, family modes and allowed checking that the execution result was the polymorphism and support for immutable data structures have same in all cases. proved to be useful for implementation of the emulator. The The programming language chosen by the authors for the authors of the paper also propose some improvements to these features: flexible definition of family-polymorphic types, implementation of an emulator supporting these features is integration of family polymorphism with generics, establishing Scala. This choice is arbitrary to some extent and rather full equivalence between mutating operations on mutable data dictated by the authors’ interest in the features of this types and copy-and-modify operations on immutable data types.

    Literate Programming and Reproducible Research

    JSS Journal of Statistical Software January 2012, Volume 46, Issue 3. http://www.jstatsoft.org/ A Multi-Language Computing Environment for Literate Programming and Reproducible Research Eric Schulte Dan Davison University of New Mexico Counsyl Thomas Dye Carsten Dominik University of Hawai`i University of Amsterdam Abstract We present a new computing environment for authoring mixed natural and com- puter language documents. In this environment a single hierarchically-organized plain text source file may contain a variety of elements such as code in arbitrary program- ming languages, raw data, links to external resources, project management data, working notes, and text for publication. Code fragments may be executed in situ with graphical, numerical and textual output captured or linked in the file. Export to LATEX, HTML, LATEX beamer, DocBook and other formats permits working reports, presentations and manuscripts for publication to be generated from the file. In addition, functioning pure code files can be automatically extracted from the file. This environment is implemented as an extension to the Emacs text editor and provides a rich set of features for authoring both prose and code, as well as sophisticated project management capabilities. Keywords: literate programming, reproducible research, compendium, WEB, Emacs. 1. Introduction There are a variety of settings in which it is desirable to mix prose, code, data, and compu- tational results in a single document. Scientific research increasingly involves the use of computational tools.

Knuth nel 3;9: ha prodotto la prima versione sperimentale per la composizione tipografica al calcolatore, aveva proprio in mente la composizione della matematica, perché anno dopo anno vedeva che i compositori professionisti si adagiavano sulle funzionalità dei software professionali, essenzialmente concentrati sul testo, e perdevano le loro conoscenze in merito alla composizione della matematica.
