  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. 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 ...

  4. Relative growth rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Relative_growth_rate

    RGR is a concept relevant in cases where the increase in a state variable over time is proportional to the value of that state variable at the beginning of a time period. In terms of differential equations, if is the current size, and its growth rate, then relative growth rate is. If the RGR is constant, i.e., a solution to this equation is.

  5. Rule of 72 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_72

    In finance, the rule of 72, the rule of 70 [1] and the rule of 69.3 are methods for estimating an investment 's doubling time. The rule number (e.g., 72) is divided by the interest percentage per period (usually years) to obtain the approximate number of periods required for doubling. Although scientific calculators and spreadsheet programs ...

  6. Plant growth analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plant_growth_analysis

    The equation for exponential mass growth rate in plant growth analysis is often expressed as: = ⁡ Where: M(t) is the final mass of the plant at time (t). M 0 is the initial mass of the plant. RGR is the relative growth rate. RGR can then be written as:

  7. Time constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_constant

    This behavior is referred to as a "decaying" exponential function. The time τ (tau) is referred to as the "time constant" and can be used (as in this case) to indicate how rapidly an exponential function decays. Here: t is time (generally t > 0 in control engineering) V 0 is the initial value (see "specific cases" below). Specific cases

  8. Wheat and chessboard problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wheat_and_chessboard_problem

    The exercise of working through this problem may be used to explain and demonstrate exponents and the quick growth of exponential and geometric sequences. It can also be used to illustrate sigma notation. When expressed as exponents, the geometric series is: 2 0 + 2 1 + 2 2 + 2 3 + ... and so forth, up to 2 63. The base of each exponentiation ...

  9. Population dynamics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_dynamics

    In logistic populations however, the intrinsic growth rate, also known as intrinsic rate of increase (r) is the relevant growth constant. Since generations of reproduction in a geometric population do not overlap (e.g. reproduce once a year) but do in an exponential population, geometric and exponential populations are usually considered to be ...
