As far as I know, the section on random number generation is the only treatment of that subject anywhere, better or worse.



I don't think that this is quite true.

On page 189 of Volume 2 (Third edition) there are two paragraphs discussing previous literature, including bibliographies. I do recall prior to the publication of Vol 2 that there were numerous ACM articles discussing this topic.

But Knuth's exposition is certainly comprehensive compared to anything else.
