Because Knuth is a mathematician :)

Anyway, Mathematics ne CompSci, rather CompSci is a proper subset of Mathematics.

    I do not believe that computer science is a proper subset of mathematics. Instead I agree with Paul Graham that computer science is a meeting point of several very different groups.

    One of those groups is really doing math. The others are not.

    (A lot of the algorithms folks are really doing math.)
