Author: Richard W. Hamming 


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.

Cute and elevated
Color: 10-Gold-100
These are really cute and really elevate our client experience at a minimal investment. We offer a complimentary glass of champagne to our clients and we use these as an addition to serve juice, soda or water. They are durable and pretty think, much better than using a thinner red solo cup and the gold addition the cups really makes them look expensive.

Great cups for any occassion!
Color: 9-Silver-200
These cups worked great for the rehearsal brunch and we were able to use the rest at one of the beverage stations at the reception. They were very good quality and the silver ring around the top added extra sparkle. Highly recommend!

Great Quality and Elegant Look!
Color: 9-Silver-100
I ordered these 9 oz silver-trimmed plastic cups for a dinner gathering , and they turned out perfect. The silver rim gives them an upscale, classy look great for parties or more formal events like weddings. They’re sturdy and don’t feel flimsy at all, even when filled with ice and drinks. Guests complimented them several times, thinking they were real glass! Cleanup was easy since they’re disposable, but honestly, they’re durable enough to rinse and reuse if you want. Highly recommend for anyone looking to elevate their party setup without spending a lot.

Good quality choice
Color: 9-Gold-200
Very good quality for a wedding. Used for wine with a larger size for beer. Great match and not flimsy or thin quality. Can be washed and used again as the gold band doesn't wash off easily and they still look new after one use, or toss.
