Abstract: Abstract In this chapter we introduce a continuous time stochastic process called the Poisson process. It is a good model in a number of situations and it has many interesting mathematical properties. There is a strong link between the exponential distribution and the Poisson process. This is why we start by reviewing the exponential distribution.
