Too Long; Didn't Read
My better half teaches <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Further_Mathematics">further mathematics</a> for the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Baccalaureate">International Baccalaureate</a> (IB) program at a nearby school. I had a previous encounter with their Math club, on the topic of “Math at work”. Back then, <em>work</em> was focused on the roll-out of Scrum at scale, so I touched on Fibonacci numbers (used for <a href="https://www.scrum-institute.org/Effort_Estimations_Planning_Poker.php">effort estimation</a>) and scratched the surface of queuing theory, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M/M/1_queue">M/M/1 queues in particular</a>, to model service time in a work queue.
