If you find some of these notes worthwhile, I highly recommend reading the book it is from. I think the book is also readable in somewhat random order, the chapters are mostly independent of each other. Also, I think you could read a few chapters then put it down and return to it months later and not really have to pick up the thread of where you were.
I read this book carefully and cover-to-cover close to a decade ago, and have returned to it often. I give it a 10 out of 10.
- yesenadam 8y agoI'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the Learning to Learn one, which is now available on youtube), maybe they don't fit curricula or not advanced enough or outdated.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.
