  2. Exponential growth - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exponential_growth

    Exponential growth. Exponential growth occurs when the a quantity grows at a rate directly proportional to its present size. For example, when it is 3 times as big as it is now, it will be growing 3 times as fast as it is now. In more technical language, its instantaneous rate of change (that is, the derivative) of a quantity with respect to an ...

  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. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    Doubling time The doubling time is the time it takes for a population to double in size/value. It is applied to population growth, inflation, resource extraction, consumption of goods, compound interest, the volume of malignant tumours, and many other things that tend to grow over time. When the relative growth rate (not the absolute growth rate) is constant, the quantity undergoes exponential ...

  5. 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.

  6. Rule of 72 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72

    Although scientific calculators and spreadsheet programs have functions to find the accurate doubling time, the rules are useful for mental calculations and when only a basic calculator is available. [2] These rules apply to exponential growth and are therefore used for compound interest as opposed to simple interest calculations.

  7. Malthusian growth model - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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 the earliest and most ...

  8. e (mathematical constant) - Wikipedia

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

    The law of exponential growth can be written in different but mathematically equivalent forms, by using a different base, for which the number e is a common and convenient choice: Here, denotes the initial value of the quantity x, k is the growth constant, and is the time it takes the quantity to grow by a factor of e.

  9. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

    The growth equation for exponential populations is where e is Euler's number, a universal constant often applicable in logistic equations, and r is the intrinsic growth rate.
