About Richard Wesley Hamming and this Book
Hamming’s contributions to mathematics, computer science, and telecommunications were groundbreaking, particularly his development of error-correcting codes (ECC) codes, which revolutionized error detection and correction in digital communication. Hamming contributed foundationally to many fields, including information theory, digital filters, computational science, numerical methods, and teaching. Beyond his technical achievements, Hamming was widely regarded as a visionary intellectual for his deep philosophical reflections on science and computing. He famously emphasized the importance of insight over mere computation, stating, “The purpose of computation is insight, not numbers.” His work and ideas continue to influence researchers and engineers today.
