Donald E.Knuth(唐納德 E.克努特,中文名高德納)算法和程序設(shè)計技術(shù)先驅(qū)者、計算機排版系統(tǒng)TEX和METAFONT的發(fā)明者,他因這些成就以及大量富于創(chuàng)造力和具有深遠影響的著作(19部書,160篇論文)而譽滿全球。作為斯坦福大學(xué)關(guān)于計算機程序設(shè)計藝術(shù)的榮譽退休教授。目前他投入全部精力完成關(guān)于計算機科學(xué)的史詩性的七卷集的工作。這一偉大工程在1962年他還是加州理工學(xué)院的研究生時就開始了。Knuth教授獲得了許多獎項和榮譽,包括美國計算機協(xié)會圖靈獎(ACM Turing Award)、美國前總統(tǒng)卡特授予的科學(xué)金獎(Medal of Science)、美國數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)會斯蒂爾獎(AMS Steele Prize),以及1996年11月由于發(fā)明先進技術(shù)而榮獲的極受尊重的京都獎(Kyoto Prize)。
