  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 instantaneous rate of change (that is, the derivative) of a quantity with respect to time is proportional to the quantity itself. Described as a function, a quantity undergoing exponential growth is an exponential function of time ...

  3. Wheat and chessboard problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem

    The wheat and chessboard problem (sometimes expressed in terms of rice grains) is a mathematical problem expressed in textual form as: If a chessboard were to have wheat placed upon each square such that one grain were placed on the first square, two on the second, four on the third, and so on (doubling the number of grains on each subsequent ...

  4. Relative growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_growth_rate

    Relative growth rate ( RGR) is growth rate relative to size - that 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.

  5. Malthusian growth model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusian_growth_model

    Malthusian growth model. A Malthusian growth model, sometimes called a simple exponential growth model, is essentially exponential growth based on the idea of the function being proportional to the speed to which the function grows. The model is named after Thomas Robert Malthus, who wrote An Essay on the Principle of Population (1798), one of ...

  6. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

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

    The number e is a mathematical constant approximately equal to 2.71828 that can be characterized in many ways. It is the base of the natural logarithm function. It is the limit of as n tends to infinity, an expression that arises in the computation of compound interest. It is the value at 1 of the (natural) exponential function, commonly ...

  7. Geometric progression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geometric_progression

    Geometric sequences (with common ratio not equal to −1, 1 or 0) show exponential growth or exponential decay, as opposed to the linear growth (or decline) of an arithmetic progression such as 4, 15, 26, 37, 48, … (with common difference 11). This result was taken by T.R. Malthus as the mathematical foundation of his Principle of Population .

  8. Compound annual growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compound_annual_growth_rate

    Compound annual growth rate ( CAGR) is a business, economics and investing term representing the mean annualized growth rate for compounding values over a given time period.

  9. Logistic function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logistic_function

    A logistic function or logistic curve is a common S-shaped curve ( sigmoid curve) with the equation. where. is the carrying capacity, the supremum of the values of the function; is the logistic growth rate, the steepness of the curve; and. is the value of the function's midpoint.
