Themes of the Book

  

“If you don’t work on important problems, it’s not likely that you’ll do important work.”


“The Purpose of Computing is insight, not numbers.”


“It is better to do the right problem the wrong way, than the wrong problem the right way.”


 -  Richard Wesley Hamming


“A person’s legacy should not be limited to just what they attempt and accomplish in their lifetime; it should include what is attempted and accomplished by succeeding generations of individuals that they helped enable.” -  Martin Mandelberg
