Programming is not just for geeks. If you're curious about how things work, and want to get programmatic solutions to everyday problems, this intriguing book will help you find what you're looking for. By using some fundamental math and simple Ruby and R constructs, you'll learn how to model the problem and work toward a solution. Discover reasons why things are the way they are by spelunking data freely available on the Internet. You'll model and simulate environments and systems, and then observe and analyze the results. See the world around you through programming eyes.

You might notice in the code that we have to clone the restroom queue first and work on the cloned queue instead of the original one. This is because we will move the people back into the restroom queue if the restroom is fully occupied. If we use the restroom queue itself, we’ll end up in an infinite loop! (查看原文)
However, we ended with a cautionary note not to overanalyze data, because taking a different perspective of the data sometimes reveals the foolishness of going overboard with our analysis. (查看原文)

看看怎么用Ruby+R来做数学建模，非常有意思。

其实整本书跟R关系不大，也就是用涉及了下ggplot2，大部分的篇幅都是讲如何用Ruby来模拟标题里的"Everyday Things"，类似于“排队”问题，“市场经济”。感觉作者也蛮扯的，为了测试下”心跳“，不惜花篇幅介绍如何用麦克风来录制心跳音频，然后在分析.wav文件...
