He is responsible for a system of mathematical notation to easily write repeated exponentiation, his namesake up-arrow notation.
He is responsible for a system of mathematical notation to easily write repeated exponentiation, his namesake up-arrow notation. His vector font language defines characters in terms of Bezier [BEH zee ay] curves; that language is Metafont. This man's uncompleted masterwork on algorithms was started in 1968 and is currently on the fourth of seven volumes. He developed a typesetting system particularly geared to technical work specifically for that set of reference books. He used to offer one hexadecimal dollar, or two dollars and fifty-six cents, for finding errors in it. The typesetting system, TeX [TECH], has version numbers that approach pi. Name this Stanford computer scientist who wrote The Art of Computer Programming.
