I thought the boss that came after Knuth was John Conway, due to Knuth's up-arrows vs Conway's chained arrows.

al- is Arabic for "the", and English usually takes these loanwords with the article included.

I read a book in 6th grade math class called "A Gebra Named Al" that explained most of this.

There were chemys named Al in that forest, iirc. I imagine they know a cohol or two named Al, too.
