Very cool post. Here's a link to his book, "The Art of doing Science and Engineering": http://worrydream.com/refs/Hamming-TheArtOfDoingScienceAndEn...
On the side note, is this book free? if it is not i would like to buy it sometime.
I am also wondering , Richard Hamming has died in 1998 right? if his books is distributed electronically (like in ebooks) is it violating his copyright? (i don't really understand about ebooks copyright)
