Queuing theory and Poisson process

Queuing theory is indispensable, but here is an introduction to the simplest queuing model - an M/M/1 queue. Also included is the discussion on Poisson process, which is the underlying assumption for the M/M/1 queue. Second channel video on variance of Poisson distribution: To me, this is mainly a “prequel“ which serves as a prerequisite for the next video, even though the next video is not as long.

If you are wondering how I made all these videos, even though it is stylistically similar to 3Blue1Brown, I don’t use his animation engine Manim, but I use PowerPoint, GeoGebra, and (sometimes) Mathematica to produce the videos.
