What Hacker News says
- I've read a few of Hamming's books; they're all great, it seems. Numerical Methods and Methods of Mathematics I enjoyed particularly. I should try the rest. They're written at a level (I guess undergraduate) I can understand, and are ideal for 'experimental programmer' types.
I don't think I've seen them recommended anywhere (except the Learning to Learn one, which is now available on youtube), maybe they don't fit curricula or not advanced enough or outdated. I just really like his voice, and the way they're soaked with practical experience.
- Well, then you might argue that the entire book industry, especially the text book industry is motivated by greed.
For example, I was able to buy a technical book which retails for $49 on my Kindle for only $8. Not 99 cents, but it still saved me a lot of money.
