Forget the MOOCs, it's Friday, it's Hamming Time! Here is a series of videos by Richard Hamming: "Learning to Learn" The Art of Doing Science and Engineering. I featured two at the top but the remaining thirty others are listed below. Which ones did you like ?

    There is also a book "Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn"
