Yes, I've read about Knuth before online through writings from several respected Unix Hackers (e.g. Eric S. Raymond).
I'm ordering Volume 1 of Knuth's TAOCP now :-)
The book review reveals that Knuth discusses several important mathematical techniques include proof methods, number theory, and combinatorics.
Some of these things I've already seen in my Discrete Math courses, but we only scratched the surface.
I'm determined to improve my understanding of Mathematics, particularly in the areas tangent to Computer Science.
As far as programming is concerned, I'm primarily interested in Unix systems programming. Want to learn more about Unix system administration because I think that will give me an elementary grasp of Unix architecture.
Thanks for the tip!

If you want to learn about computer science there is no better source than this one
http://www-cs-faculty.stanford.edu/~knuth/It is almost certain that much of it will be over your head (it's way over mine quite often) but when you encounter one of those you just step back down and research until you understand the point and go forward.
It's a big challenge but if you want to set your goals high then nothing beats Don Knuth.
