michaelchchoi shares a teaching anecdote: after the midterm, his lecture on spatial and non-homogeneous Poisson processes still earned applause from students. The practicum used Poisson processes to simulate soccer goal counts, and he also covered how quant funds model limit order books with Hawkes processes. He wonders if he can sustain this until the final lecture.
