文摘Population Growth and Decay study of the growth or the decrease of a population of a given entity, is carried out according to the environment. In an infinite environment, i.e. when the resources are unlimited, a population P believes according to the following differential equation P’ = KP, with the application of the differential calculus we obtasin an exponential function of the variable time (t). The function of which we can predict approximately a population according to the signs of k and time (t). If k > 0, we speak of the Malthusian croissant.
