Steve White has been an encouraging presence who led Oak Ridge through exponential growth as athletic director, head girl’s ...

Group work and giving students time to discuss their work helps to build their confidence in using math in science lessons, a ...

A painless, noninvasive brain stimulation technique can significantly improve how young adults learn math, my colleagues and ...

The truth is painfully simple: consistency isn’t just important; it’s everything when it comes to achieving extraordinary results in life. What many people don’t realize is that consistency doesn’t ...

Inverse relationship between exponential and logarithmic functions The exponential function and the logarithmic function are inverses of each other, meaning they ‘undo’ each other’s operations. If the ...

“The growth we are seeing is nothing short of phenomenal. My Math Academy, combined with our blended learning model, allows for personalized and consistent modeling that empowers both teachers ...

The Rule of 72 stems from the mathematics of exponential growth. It’s not perfect—its accuracy wobbles with very high or very low interest rates—but for rates between 4% and 15%, it’s ...

The formula for exponential growth is V = S x (1+R) T, where S is the starting value, R is the interest rate, T is the number of periods that have elapsed, and V is the current value.

Exponential growth and decay Exponential graphs can be used to represent many real-life situations including growth of bacteria, compound interest, radioactive decay, and population increase.

It’s impossible to maintain steady growth indefinitely on a finite planet. This is not ideology but simple mathematics. Steady growth in anything — from the amounts of resources we use or garbage we ...

We add one bacterium, which represents us. That bacterium will go into exponential growth by dividing every minute. At time zero, there is one cell, at one minute there are two, at two minutes four, ...

If Christmas is (alas) a time for a materialist blowout, January is often a time for rueful reflection. Should we really have bought all that soon-to-be-landfill for each other? The answer, as I have ...
