Book Review: Street-Fighting Mathematics

2012-12-29T21:19:00.000+05:30

The Trinity test occurred on a calm morning. Enrico Fermi, one of the observers, began dropping bits of paper about 40 seconds after the explosion; pieces in the
air when the blast wave arrived were deflected by about 2.5 meters. From this crude measurement, Fermi estimated the bomb’s yield to be ten kilotons; he was
accurate within a factor of two. Although Street-Fighting Mathematics does not address the problem of estimating bomb yields, it gives us a reasonably generic
toolbox for generating quantitative estimates from a few facts, a lot of intuition, and impressively little calculus. As one of the reviews on Amazon says, this
book makes us smarter.

Street-Fighting Mathematics —

The title refers to the fact that in a street fight, it’s better to have a quick and dirty answer than to stand there thinking about the right thing to do - is based
on the premise that we can and should use rapid estimation techniques to get rough answers to difficult problems. There are good reasons for preferring estimation
over rigorous methods: the answer is arrived at quickly, the full set of input data may not be needed, and messy calculus-based or numerical techniques can often be
avoided. Perhaps more important, by avoiding a descent into difficult symbol pushing, a greater understanding of the problem’s essentials can sometimes be gained
and a valuable independent check on rigorous — and often more error prone — methods is obtained.

Recursively substituting text in many files with find and sed:

find . -type f -iname '*.txt' -exec sed -i 's,this,that,g' {} +

sed -f scriptname

If you have a large number of sed commands, you can put them into a file and use

sed -f sedscript <old >new

where sedscript could look like this:

# sed comment - This script changes lower case vowels to upper case
s/a/A/g
s/e/E/g
s/i/I/g
s/o/O/g
s/u/U/g

When there are several commands in one file, each command must be on a separate line.

A sed interpreter script

Another way of executing sed is to use an interpreter script. Create a file that contains:

#!/bin/sed -f
s/a/A/g
s/e/E/g
s/i/I/g
s/o/O/g
s/u/U/g

Click here to get file: CapVowel.sed
