Task B duration (days)

Task D duration (days)

The Critical Path Method finds the longest chain of dependent tasks through a project — the sequence that sets the minimum completion time. Tasks on it have zero slack: delay any one and the whole project slips. Tasks off it can float. Stretch task B or D and watch the critical path re-route. The backbone of project management.

Critical tasksA, B, D, F

Tasks6

Reading this result: The critical path is A → B → D → F at 15 days. Tasks C, E carry slack — delaying them will not move the finish date, but any slip on a critical task pushes the whole project.

Governing equation

T = paths max i \sum d_{i} = 15 days, slack_{i} = L S_{i} - E S_{i}

Horizon (years)

Geometric Brownian motion models a price with constant drift and random volatility — the assumption behind Black-Scholes. Running hundreds of simulated paths reveals the full distribution of outcomes, not just an average. Educational tool, not investment advice.

Governing equation

S_{t + Δ t} = S_{t} e^{(0.07 - \frac{0. 2 ^{2}}{2}) Δ t + 0.2 Δ t Z}, \tilde{S}_{1} \approx $0

Reading this result: Median outcome is about $0, just under the drift-only $107 — GBM compounds in log-space, so volatility always pulls the typical path below the average.
