Since 1987, IEEE offers the Richard W. Hamming Medal, “For exceptional contributions to information sciences and systems” to honor the speaker transcribed in this article. Dr. Hamming is the author of seven books about in areas of mathematics, computers, coding, and information theory. Investigating how individuals do great research, Dr. Hamming has read biographies, autobiographies, and asked questions. He found that people believe great science is caused by luck.

While not denying that luck plays a part, Dr. Hamming explains that consistency, extra dedication, complete commitment, courage, persistence, focusing, conforming to work with the system, and the sensible and balance application of work, keep great scientist prepared to take opportunities.

Good thinks need to be neglected to reach our goals. Looking for and phrasing important problems carefully, tracking apparent theory flaws, looking for explanations or possible changes, and choosing or delegating pending activities helps identifying reasonable solutions.
