Work
Peter Hammer was a prolific and influential researcher in the fields of operations research and discrete mathematics. He dedicated most of his work to the study of pseudo-Boolean functions (functions from to ) and their connections with optimisation. He is considered the father of the Boolean Function Theory as well as the main contributor to it, as his books testify. He also applied the techniques he developed to graph theory and integer programming.
More recently, he extended his work on pseudo-Boolean functions toward data mining and proposed the Logical Analysis of Data (LAD) methodology. He registered several successes with this method essentially to help medical diagnosis.

Famous quotes containing the word work:
“If our web be framed with rotten handles, when our loom is well nigh done, our work is new to begin. God send the weaver true prentices again, and let them be denizens.”

“Many a reformer perishes in his removal of rubbish,—and that makes the offensiveness of the class. They are partial; they are not equal to the work they pretend. They lose their way; in the assault on the kingdom of darkness, they expend all their energy on some accidental evil, and lose their sanity and power of benefit.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
““As for myself, I am simply Hop-Frog, the jester—and this is my last jest.”... The Work of vengeance was complete.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
