Abstract
“The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers,” once noted renowned mathematician and former
Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) Professor Richard W. Hamming. For the man who set aside a lifetime
of groundbreaking discoveries for the love of teaching, at a self-imposed $1 per year salary, it would
prove to be a prophetic statement indeed.
