TAOCP: Foreword and 1.1. Algorithms

Here we go. In the foreword, I found it amusing that Knuth kindly informs that the reader should have written and tested three computer programs in order to have enough pre-knowledge for his book series. I think we can't count a "Hello, world" as one here. The statement is arbitrary of course.

Having read the reading instructions + the state machine I decided to keep picking the "yes" edge from the state "2+2=5" which leads to the "skim math" state, and concentrate on programming. I won't be missing the math though, it's prevalent all over.

The first actual section (1.1.) was written in a sound way. I'm not sure I fully understood the formal definition of a computational method, though. So I'm planning to re-read that part next time.
