Is it relevant to read Knuth on algorithms?

I must say right away that I have not read this book, but it was recommended to me. The question is, is it worth starting to read this fundamental work in the field of information technology? In terms of, is it true that this work contains absolutely all the invented algorithms and data structures that exist in this world? Or is this book no longer relevant? Tell me please.

The book for education in computer science is relevant.
If you have the time and energy to read and understand it, it will be very useful.
This is like an excellent strengthening of the foundation, many things will then be better clarified, it will be easier to understand why something is done the way it is, it will be easier to understand why this particular approach is recommended somewhere, and so on and so forth.

I don't understand.
In 2022, it's easy to google, download, and flip through a book and see if it has what you want.
The analysis of algorithms in this book is not children's fairy tales and not school mathematics of elementary grades. It is assumed that you are at least familiar with the concept of an algorithm and basic programming.
Therefore, if you decide to read such a book, you should have more than enough of your own competence to leaf through and understand whether it is necessary to read it.
And if you have zero knowledge at all, then don't read.

Knut Hamsun "Hunger"?
Yes, reading for information is what you need

I read the first volume a year ago, it perfectly cleanses the chakras from humanitarian installations.
In fact, of course, Computer Science is a set of disparate mathematical theories, but if you endure and get a grasp of the first volume, everything will go like clockwork. From add. buns you can begin to understand the assembler.
But as I have already written everywhere, it’s a pity there is no black-red trees.
