Analogies between Coronavirus infection modelling, telephone exchange capacity planning, Zwift game platform expansion, military simulation models and queuing theory

I reflect on my past experiences with event-based simulation, connecting it to Queuing Theory and the statistical mathematics used in telephone exchanges and modern technological applications, particularly gaming platforms like Zwift. I draw parallels between call arrival patterns and infection models, particularly regarding COVID-19. I acknowledge the influence of historical research, including work by Prof.…

The Restricted Three Body Problem

This article explores the Restricted Three-Body Problem (RTBP), focusing on the dynamics of a spacecraft influenced by two larger bodies. It includes methods for analyzing motion using numerical solvers, stability investigation of Lagrange points, and the effect of varying mass ratios. Programming tasks and analyses are provided to illustrate behavior in gravitational fields over defined…
