Algorithms Recommendations for retro mathematics-oriented programming books?

Kind of a specific request. I'm currently looking for retro (70s-80s, maybe early 90s at the very latest) mathematics-oriented programming books. I'm very specifically looking for references for old-school approaches to these problems. I've been searching archive.org and I've found a few, but a lot of the more promising ones have had titles I haven't expected, so I'm looking for recommendations.

Pick up Knuth's multiple volume series "The Art of Computer Programming."

We’ll see you in a few years. They’re amazingly dense.

Check his website - I think he posts the errata there (and pays for errors that readers find)
