FAQ

What is exponential growth?

Exponential growth occurs when a population grows at a constant rate without resource limitations: N(t) = N₀ × e^(rt).

What is logistic growth?

Logistic growth models population growth with a carrying capacity (K). Growth slows as population approaches K: dN/dt = rN(K−N)/K.

How do I calculate doubling time?

Use the Rule of 70: doubling time ≈ 70 / growth rate (%). For exact calculation, use t = ln(2) / r.
