  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. 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 ...

  4. Thomas Robert Malthus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Robert_Malthus

    Thomas Robert Malthus FRS ( / ˈmælθəs /; 13/14 February 1766 – 29 December 1834) [1] was an English economist, cleric, and scholar influential in the fields of political economy and demography. [2] In his 1798 book An Essay on the Principle of Population, Malthus observed that an increase in a nation's food production improved the well ...

  5. Malthusianism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malthusianism

    Malthusianism. Malthusianism is the theory that population growth is potentially exponential, according to the Malthusian growth model, while the growth of the food supply or other resources is linear, which eventually reduces living standards to the point of triggering a population decline. This event, called a Malthusian catastrophe (also ...

  6. The Population Bomb - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Population_Bomb

    1-56849-587-0. The Population Bomb is a 1968 book co-authored by former Stanford University professor Paul R. Ehrlich and former Stanford senior researcher in conservation biology Anne H. Ehrlich. [1] [2] From the opening page, it predicted worldwide famines due to overpopulation, as well as other major societal upheavals, and advocated ...

  7. 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 ...

  8. Growth rate (group theory) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Growth_rate_(group_theory)

    Growth rate (group theory) In the mathematical subject of geometric group theory, the growth rate of a group with respect to a symmetric generating set describes how fast a group grows. Every element in the group can be written as a product of generators, and the growth rate counts the number of elements that can be written as a product of ...

  9. Doubling time - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doubling_time

    The doubling time is a characteristic unit (a natural unit of scale) for the exponential growth equation, and its converse for exponential decay is the half-life. As an example, Canada's net population growth was 2.7 percent in the year 2022, dividing 72 by 2.7 gives an approximate doubling time of about 27 years.
