Science and Engineering

• You and Your Research, by Richard Hamming

  Let me summarize. You've got to work on important problems.
  I deny that it is all luck, but I admit there is a fair element of luck. I subscribe to Pasteur's "Luck favors the prepared mind." I favor heavily what I did. Friday afternoons for years - great thoughts only - means that I committed 10% of my time trying to understand the bigger problems in the field, i.e. what was and what was not important.
  I found in the early days I had believed 'this' and yet had spent all week marching in 'that' direction. It was kind of foolish. If I really believe the action is over there, why do I march in this direction? I either had to change my goal or change what I did. So I changed something I did and I marched in the direction I thought was important. It's that easy.

• The Art of Doing Science and Engineering, by Richard Hamming

  In science, if you know what you are doing you should not be doing it.
  In engineering, if you do not know what you are doing you should not be doing it.
