This is not a tutorial, but I thought I'd post a link to a Webpage dedicated to calculating the probability that two people will meet between two times, with the understanding that each will wait no more than n time intervals for the other. (Special thanks to Google for helping me on my quest to find an easy-to-understand explanation.)http://www.mathpages.com/home/kmath124/kmath124.htm"

And mods, please feel free to post this in the Math subsection of the Homework section and sticky it there.
