Product Description

A timeless guide to thinking creatively, solving big problems, and making world-changing discoveries—by one of the most brilliant minds in science and engineering.

What sparks a great idea? Can we learn to think in ways that lead to breakthrough discoveries?

Legendary mathematician and computer scientist Richard Hamming believed we can—and in The Art of Doing Science and Engineering, he shows exactly how. Building on his influential 1986 lecture “You and Your Research,” this landmark work reveals the mindset, methods, and habits of those who achieve truly great things.

Far more than a book about science, this is a guide to a way of thinking—a creative, disciplined, and courageous style of inquiry that transcends disciplines and transforms potential into achievement.

Drawing from decades at the forefront of mathematics, computer science, and engineering, Hamming illuminates how the greats—Einstein, Shannon, Hopper, Kaiser, and many others—approached their work, learned from failure, and cultivated ideas that reshaped the world. He also reflects on his own groundbreaking successes and missteps, offering candid lessons for thinkers in every field.

Inside you’ll discover:

  • How to identify and pursue “great problems” that matter
  • The habits of mind that fuel creative breakthroughs
  • How failure, curiosity, and persistence shape lasting innovation
  • Insights from pioneers in information theory, computer science, and physics
  • Practical advice for lifelong learning and intellectual growth

Originally published in 1996 and adapted from Hamming’s celebrated course at the U.S. Naval Postgraduate School, this new edition features a foreword by Bret Victor—designer, engineer, and founder of Dynamicland—and over 70 newly redrawn diagrams and charts that clarify Hamming’s timeless insights.

The Art of Doing Science and Engineering is a call to think deeply, act boldly, and cultivate a mind that questions, explores, and creates. It’s a masterclass in innovation from one of the twentieth century’s greatest scientific thinkers—and an enduring reminder that genius is not born, but built through disciplined curiosity and purposeful thought.
