From the Publisher
From the all-new foreword by Bret Victor
The Art of Doing Science and Engineering is the total, stunning expression of what “You and Your Research” sketched in define. In this delightfully earnest parody of a textbook, chapters on “Digital Filters” and “Error-Correcting Codes” don’t, the truth is, educate these issues in any respect, however relatively exist to educate the model of considering by which these nice concepts had been conceived.
This is a guide about considering. One can’t speak about considering within the summary, not less than not usefully. But one can speak about fascinated about digital filters, and by finding out how nice scientists considered digital filters, one learns, nonetheless step by step, to suppose like an awesome scientist.

––Bret Victor, founder of Dynamicland, designer, and engineer
About the creator
Richard W. Hamming was a scientist and mathematician whose work impressed a technology of engineers, scientists, and researchers. He is greatest recognized for locating mathematical formulation that enable computer systems to appropriate their very own errors, a basic perform of modems, compact disks, and satellite tv for pc communications.
Born in Chicago in 1915, he offered essential programming help as a member of the Manhattan Project. After World War II, he joined Bell Labs, the place over the subsequent 15 years he was concerned in practically all of its most outstanding achievements. He later taught and lectured on the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. Throughout his profession, Hamming acquired many awards for his work, together with the Turing Award in 1968, the best honor in pc science. In 1988, the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers created the Richard W. Hamming Medal in his honor, of which he was the primary recipient. He died in 1998.

Stripe Press publishes books about financial and technological development. Stripe companions with a whole bunch of 1000’s of the world’s most revolutionary companies—organizations that may form the world of tomorrow. These companies are the consequence of many alternative inputs. Perhaps an important ingredient is “ideas.” Stripe Press highlights concepts that we expect could be broadly helpful. Some books comprise completely new materials, some are collections of current work reimagined, and others are republications of earlier works which have remained related over time or have renewed relevance immediately.
