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.” ...

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 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.
