    Why Use Math in Biology?

    Biology is full of numbers. Predict population sizes and understand environmental impacts using models described in Nature's Scitable on Population Growth.

    Exponential Growth Model

    The exponential model assumes unlimited resources. Formula: N(t) = N_0 e^{rt}. For a deeper dive into the math, check Britannica's Population Ecology.

    Logistic Growth Model

    Exponential growth is unrealistic forever. The logistic model accounts for limited resources and carrying capacity. Cross-verify results with PhET Natural Selection simulations.
