The Art Of Doing Science And Engineering: Learning To Learn

A groundbreaking treatise by one of the great mathematicians of our age, who outlines a style of thinking by which great ideas are conceived.

What inspires and spurs on a great idea? Can we train ourselves to think in a way that will enable world-changing understandings and insights to emerge?

Richard 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. The Art of Doing Science and Engineering 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.

The 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.

Originally 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.

The Art of Doing Science and Engineering 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.

Great washable shower curtain liner
Color: White, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
I didn’t expect to have strong opinions about a shower curtain liner—but this one earned it. The ALYVIA SPRING liner feels noticeably higher quality than the typical thin plastic ones. The fabric is soft but still completely waterproof, so it keeps water where it’s supposed to be without that stiff, crinkly feel. The 3 magnets at the bottom are a game changer—they help keep the liner in place and prevent it from clinging to you mid-shower (which is always the worst). It hangs nicely, dries quickly, and doesn’t get that gross mildew smell after a few uses. Installation was simple, and it works great with a standard curtain setup. If you’re tired of replacing cheap liners all the time, this is a solid upgrade that actually lasts. Highly recommend!

Heading misleading is not cloth, it is 100% polyester (plastic).
Color: Blue, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
Product title says "ALYVIA SPRING Waterproof Fabric Shower Curtain Liner, Washable Cloth Shower Curtain for Bathroom - Standard Size 72x72", so one would assume it is cloth. However, when I got it, it is 100% polyester, so I went to Amazon and checked, and it does say 100% polyester in the smaller product description, so the heading is 100% misleading. I raised my review from one star to four because it feels decent, does not contain PVC or BPA, and the quality seems outstanding after I washed it (as I would with all new items to rid it of any residual manufacturing smells and chemicals). Still, the product heading is misleading. Usually, I try to get non-plastic and all-natural products as much as possible, so this is not a usual purchase item for me.

Lightweight material dries quickly
Color: White, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
This shower liner works great. The lightweight material dries quickly. The magnets help keep it inside the bathtub. I purchased two at the same time, so I can wash one and quickly replace it with a clean one. I am happy that I found this.

Great quality
Color: Blush Pink, Size: 72"W x 72"L (Pack of 1)
A lot pinker than I thought but still blended really well with the pink theme I had for our bathroom. The quality is stiff but nice and durable. It didn’t smell coming out of the package but it did have some wrinkle lines. They practically straightened them selves out after a few days of being hung. Easy to put up. Loved it. We got a blue one as well. And it was the same.
