The files in these directories are meant to accompany
"Introduction to Probability Models" by Sheldon Ross.

The fundamental idea in creating most of them is that it's
nice to be able to generate new random samples at the touch
of a button, to see how things really change from one sample
to the next.  In most cases, that button is F9, which tells
the spreadsheet to recalculate, and hence generate new random
numbers.

The building blocks for most of these random numbers are
Uniforms, from the rand() function, and Exponentials, which
we can get by using -ln(rand())*mymean.
