Consequently, the ever-widening gap between exponential progress and our linear thinking presents a significant challenge for the modern human experience.

The difference between linear growth and exponential growth, in the simplest terms possible, is the difference between a straight line and one that curves upward.

One of the greatest shortcomings of the human race is the inability to understand the exponential function. Most of us think linearly, but not Elon Musk.

There was never any question Moore’s Law would end. No one now, or when the law was first penned in 1965, would assume exponential growth could last forever.

Exponential thinking is not just about expecting fast growth; it's a complete game-changer that flips the script on the old, small-step linear mindset.

A constant exponential growth mathematically implies that the amount by which a quantity—number of people infected, amount of money invested—increases is higher when the amount you already ...

Six non-linear growth functions were fitted to tree height-diameter data of ten conifer species collected in the inland Northwest of the United States. The data sets represented a wide range of tree ...
