Neil's Notes
I'm currently working on converting my notes over to the following blog:
appliedprobability.wordpress.com
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This page contains an ever expanding collection of notes used by me, Neil Walton, for research and various teaching duties.
The topics include optimization, game theory, and queueing networks plus other random stuff that I just wanted to know about. These are notes: modular and terse. Basically, we try to get to the main result as quick as possible. For breadth and depth, there are lots of nice texts referenced below.
