  2. Newton's law of cooling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newton's_law_of_cooling

    Typically, this type of analysis leads to simple exponential heating or cooling behavior ("Newtonian" cooling or heating) since the internal energy of the body is directly proportional to its temperature, which in turn determines the rate of heat transfer into or out of it.

  3. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

    The rate at which a population increases in size if there are no density-dependent forces regulating the population is known as the intrinsic rate of increase.It is = where the derivative / is the rate of increase of the population, N is the population size, and r is the intrinsic rate of increase.

  4. Exponential constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_constant

    The growth or decay constant in exponential growth or exponential decay, respectively. Topics referred to by the same term This disambiguation page lists mathematics articles associated with the same title.

  5. Natural logarithm - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Natural_logarithm

    For example, logarithms are used to solve for the half-life, decay constant, or unknown time in exponential decay problems. They are important in many branches of mathematics and scientific disciplines, and are used to solve problems involving compound interest .

  6. Matrix exponential - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matrix_exponential

    The matrix exponential of another matrix (matrix-matrix exponential), [24] is defined as = ⁡ = ⁡ for any normal and non-singular n×n matrix X, and any complex n×n matrix Y. For matrix-matrix exponentials, there is a distinction between the left exponential Y X and the right exponential X Y , because the multiplication operator for matrix ...

  7. Population growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth

    Population growth is the increase in the number of people in a population or dispersed group. Actual global human population growth amounts to around 83 million annually, or 1.1% per year. [2] The global population has grown from 1 billion in 1800 to 8.1 billion in 2024. [3]

  9. Arrhenius equation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrhenius_equation

    In physical chemistry, the Arrhenius equation is a formula for the temperature dependence of reaction rates.The equation was proposed by Svante Arrhenius in 1889, based on the work of Dutch chemist Jacobus Henricus van 't Hoff who had noted in 1884 that the van 't Hoff equation for the temperature dependence of equilibrium constants suggests such a formula for the rates of both forward and ...
