Donald Knuth: The 2016 Paris C. Kanellakis Memorial Lecture

This series honors Paris Kanellakis, a distinguished computer scientist who was an esteemed and beloved faculty member. This year, Brown CS is delighted to welcome one of the greatest minds of our discipline, widely regarded as an artistic genius, Renaissance man, and perhaps the most gifted programmer of all time, Donald Knuth. We're extremely happy to return Professor Knuth to a city that he remembers fondly (he holds an honorary doctorate from Brown, and his daughter is an alum), where he will deliver two lectures, continue a conversation with Professor Emeritus Peter Wegner that shaped the course of CS more than 50 years ago, and even take a few moments to enjoy himself by playing two prominent local pipe organs.
