What’s the greatest shortcoming of the human race? I’m sure we all have some suggestions, but according to physicist Albert Bartlett, it is “our inability to understand the exponential function.” ...

From a statistical perspective, relationships among variables may take a broad array of forms. Sometimes, two variables may be unrelated to one another, such as (presumably) the scores on some college ...

It’s time for us all to understand the Exponential Function. One of the hallmarks of COVID-19 is its exponential nature, with numbers of infected currently doubling about every 4 days in the US. This ...

In a world where change is not only a constant but also rapidly accelerating, conventional thought patterns are not merely insufficient—they're risky. As an innovation expert, I've observed that the ...

This paper extends uniqueness results due to Boas and Trembinska, on entire functions with exponential growth whose real part vanishes on lattice points. Here the case is studied where the real part ...

A PHASE relation familiar to students of applied mathematics exists between a simple harmonic oscillation and its derivative. Similar relations exist between exponential functions and their ...

In everyday speech, exponential growth means runaway expansion. Math class taught us that compound interest, population increase, or radioactive decay are all applications of exponential functions.
