2. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

   Exponential growth is a process that increases quantity over time at an ever-increasing rate. It occurs when the rate of change is proportional to the quantity itself. See examples, formula, and applications in biology, physics, economics, finance, and computer science.

3. Doubling time - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

   Doubling time is the time it takes for a population to double in size or value. Learn how to calculate it from the growth rate, and see examples of doubling times for various phenomena such as population, inflation, interest and tumours.

4. Wheat and chessboard problem - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem

   A mathematical problem of calculating the number of grains of wheat on a chessboard if each square has twice as many grains as the previous one. Learn about its origins, solutions, and applications in exponential growth, compound interest, and technology strategy.

5. Rule of 72 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72

   The rule of 69.3 is a method for estimating how long it takes for an investment to double in value at a given interest rate. It is more accurate than the rule of 72 for continuous compounding, and can also be used for decay and inflation calculations.

6. Relative growth rate - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_growth_rate

   Relative growth rate (RGR) is a rate of growth per unit time, as a proportion of its size at that moment in time. It is also called the exponential growth rate, or the continuous growth rate. Learn how to calculate RGR and its applications in plant physiology.

7. Exponential function - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_function

   Learn about the exponential function, a mathematical function that relates the rate of change to the value of the function. See how it is defined, graphed, and extended to complex numbers and matrices, and how it relates to logarithms and trigonometric functions.

8. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E_(mathematical_constant)

   e is a transcendental number that is the base of the natural logarithm function and the limit of compound interest. Learn about its history, definitions, properties, applications, and representations from this comprehensive Wikipedia article.

9. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

   Population dynamics is the mathematical study of the size and age composition of populations as dynamical systems. It covers topics such as Malthusian growth, logistic equation, intrinsic rate of increase, epidemiology and geometric populations.
