해밍 코드로 유명한 RichardHamming의 "성공적인 연구론" 강연 내용. 노벨상에 뜻을 둔(혹은 기타 학술적 성공에 뜻을 둔) 학생들이 한 번 쯤 읽어보면 좋을 듯. 인문과학도들에게도 유효.

As a seminar in the Bell Communications Research Colloquia Series, Dr. Richard W. Hamming, a Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California and a former Bell Labs scientist, gave an interesting and stimulating talk, `You and Your Research' to an overflow audience of some 200 Bellcore staff members and visitors at the Morris Research and Engineering Center on March 7, 1986. This talk centered on Hamming's observations and research on the question "Why do so few scientists make significant contributions and so many are forgotten in the long run?" From his more than forty years of experience, thirty of which were at Bell Laboratories, he has made a number of direct observations, asked very pointed questions of scientists about what, how, and why they did things, studied the lives of great scientists and great contributions, and has done introspection and studied theories of creativity. The talk is about what he has learned in terms of the properties of the individual scientists, their abilities, traits, working habits, attitudes, and philosophy.

"What's the difference between so few scientists who make significant contributions and us or so many who are forgotten?"
Pasteur said, "Luck favors the prepared mind."
On the matter, Newton once said, "If others would think as hard as I did, then they would get similar results."
