History
Lee Sharma 7d7ee69264 Add Combinatorial Analysis and Computers (1965) (#422) 
Changes:

  - add: *Combinatorial Analysis and Computers* (1965) to
         `combinatory_logic/README.md` list
  - add: year to the other paper in the README
  - fix: tweak format of papers README for readability

Decisions:

  - I put this in the `combinatory_logic` folder, but I think it would
    also fit in the `comp_sci_fundamentals_and_history` folder (given
    Knuth's historical importance to the field and the more
    theoretical nature of the paper). This seemed more direct.

Paper Title:  Combinatorial Analysis and Computers
Author(s):    Marshall Hall Jr. and Donald E. Knuth
Paper Year:   1965

Reasons for Including Paper:

  Papers We Love DC/NoVA will be discussing this paper (and others) at our
  November meetup.

  This paper is included in Donald Knuth's book *Selected Papers
  on Discrete Mathematics*. Knuth's writings have been extremely
  important to the field of computer science, and I think that most of
  his papers would fit in well here. This one introduces computational
  complexity and the benefits/limits of computing, then it dives into
  several combinatorial problems.

  I find it interesting because 1) it's a neat view of the possibilities and
  limitations of computation early on, and 2) the problems that he lays out
  are interesting exercises even today.
