The amount of increase keeps increasing because it is proportional to the ever-increasing number of bacteria. Growth like this is observed in real-life activity or phenomena, such as the spread of virus infection, the growth of debt due to compound interest , and the spread of viral videos .
(Original description in Latin) The shell is orbicular, depressed, and umbilicate, characterized by a very sharp keel. It is thin, translucent, and olive-brown in color. The suture is barely discernible. The shell exhibits four flat whorls that increase rapidly in size, with the body whorl being convex at the base.
One equation used to analyze biological exponential growth uses the birth and death rates in a population. If, in a hypothetical population of size N, the birth rates (per capita) are represented as b and death rates (per capita) as d, then the increase or decrease in N during a time period t will be = ()
This increase in possible connections causes the process of innovation to not only continue, but to accelerate. Burke poses the question of what happens when this rate of innovation, or more importantly change itself, becomes too much for the average person to handle, and what this means for individual power, liberty, and privacy.
A learning curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between how proficient people are at a task and the amount of experience they have. Proficiency (measured on the vertical axis) usually increases with increased experience (the horizontal axis), that is to say, the more someone, groups, companies or industries perform a task, the better their performance at the task.
A fast-spreading wildfire that erupted this week northwest of Los Angeles roared from nothing to nearly 10,000 acres − in a matter of hours.
Ephemeralization, a term coined by R. Buckminster Fuller in 1938, is the ability of technological advancement to do "more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing," that is, an accelerating increase in the efficiency of achieving the same or more output (products, services, information, etc.) while requiring less input (effort, time, materials, resources ...
In computability theory, computational complexity theory and proof theory, a fast-growing hierarchy (also called an extended Grzegorczyk hierarchy, or a Schwichtenberg-Wainer hierarchy) [1] is an ordinal-indexed family of rapidly increasing functions f α: N → N (where N is the set of natural numbers {0, 1, ...}, and α ranges up to some large countable ordinal).
