Description
Summary:  In this sequel to our 2007 contribution to the Ten Simple Rules series [2], we attempt to distil the essence of what this mathematician and computer science and telecommunications pioneer addressed in one of his talks [3] and in his book The Art of Doing Science and Engineering: Learning to Learn [4].
