Random events at a constant average rate produce waiting times that follow the exponential distribution.
Its probability density function is f(x) = λe^{-λx} for λ > 0 and x ≥ 0, with mean μ = 1/λ and variance σ² = 1/λ². The cumulative distribution function is F(x) = 1 - e^{-λx}.
It is used to model the time between successive customer arrivals at a service counter.

The shortest distance between two points isn't a straight line - it’s a Haversine curve.
The Haversine formula calculates the "great-circle" distance between two coordinates on a sphere using their latitudes (φ) and longitudes (λ).
It is the fundamental math powering every GPS calculation, flight path, and maritime route on our curved planet.

Binomial expansions work for any real power, not just whole numbers.
Newton’s theorem gives the infinite series for (x + y) raised to a real exponent a, valid when |x| < |y|:
(x + y)^a = ∑_{k=0}^∞ [a(a-1)(a-2)⋯(a-k+1)/k!] x^{a-k} y^k
The generalized binomial coefficient is that falling product divided by k!.
It is used to derive series approximations for the Lorentz factor in special relativity.
