Dr. Donald Knuth, Professor Emeritus of Stanford University.
Author of "The Art Of Computer Programming", a seven-volume
encyclopaedia of CSE. So far, AWL has published upto volume 3.

His dissatisfaction with his typesetter for Vol 2 of the above
book led him to take time off from Stanford Univ. to write TeX,
the document preparation system and MetaFont, the font generation
program.
