(SR-52) Queuing Analysis

[Gene]

Nice find!

In a past life, I taught Queuing Theory in management science classes. The students always HATED the equations and since the calculation of P(0) was so complicated in the multi-server situation, the book had a table to estimate it... and they still hated it.

There is a queuing theory program for the HP-41 in the pages of the PPC Journal circa 1983 or so. Angel put it into one of his test statistics roms for the DM-41X / HP-41CL / HP-41 emulator usage. Works great.

At HHC 2016 (?) I gave a short talk titled "Don't make me wait!" which discussed waiting lines. It is available on hpcalc.org's Youtube channel if anyone is interested.
