Can we train ourselves to think in a way that will enable world-changing understandings and insights to emerge?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRichard Hamming said we can. He first inspired a generation of engineers, scientists, and researchers in 1986 with 'You and Your Research', an electrifying sermon on why some scientists do great work, why most don't, why he did, and why you can – and should – too. \u003ci\u003eThe Art of Doing Science and Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is the full expression of what 'You and Your Research' outlined. It's a book about thinking; more specifically, a style of thinking by which great ideas are conceived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is filled with stories of great people performing mighty deeds – but they are not meant simply to be admired. Instead, they are to be aspired to, learned from, and surpassed. Hamming consistently returns to Shannon's information theory, Einstein's theory of relativity, Grace Hopper's work on high-level programming, Kaiser's work on digital fillers, and his own work on error-correcting codes. He also recounts a number of his spectacular failures as clear examples of what to avoid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginally published in 1996 and adapted from a course that Hamming taught at the US Naval Postgraduate School, this edition includes an all-new foreword by designer, engineer, and founder of Dynamicland Bret Victor, plus more than 70 redrawn graphs and charts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Art of Doing Science and Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e is a reminder that a capacity for learning and creativity are accessible to everyone. Hamming was as much a teacher as a scientist, and having spent a lifetime forming and confirming a theory of great people and great ideas, he prepares the next generation for even greater distinction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Ingram Book Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45907208962284,"sku":"9781732265172","price":44.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9781732265172_96fb911f-a459-4bad-ad23-5b02f7b8a165.jpg?v=1731705679"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/richard-hamming.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
