HAKMEM is a February 1972 technical report of the MIT AI Lab distributed as AI Memo 239, containing a wide variety of hacks, including useful and clever algorithms for mathematical computation, some number theory and schematic diagrams for hardware – in Guy L. Steele's words, "a bizarre and eclectic potpourri of technical trivia". Contributors included about two dozen members and associates of the AI Lab. The title is short for "hacks memo", using six six-bit characters to fit in an ITS filename.
