Quotes About Exponential

In the decades since my youth, I've witnessed the explosion of fatherless families and an exponential increase in illiteracy and crime.

In a chaotic system, the required precision in the initial measurement grows exponentially, not linearly.

The equations showed that the answer depends on how similar the oscillators are. If they're identical, or nearly so, I found that the disturbances grow exponentially fast as oscillators clump together in phase, in an embryonic form of sync. Then out popped a formula for the exponential growth rate (analogous to the interest rate for how fast your money compounds in the bank). No one had ever found such a formula before.

grows near exponentially.

Anyone who believes that exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.

Anyone who believes exponential growth can go on forever in a finite world is either a madman or an economist.

While exponential growth is a remarkable manifestation of our extraordinary accomplishments as a species, built into it are the potential seeds of our demise and the portent of big troubles just around the next corner.

the fantastic power and ultimate absurdity of unchecked exponential growth.

Twenty generations ago - around the year 1390 - you had 1,048,576 ancestors. In the 21st generation of your family that number will double again.

The costs of solar energy across the world have come down so fast that its growth as a cheap, clean energy source has been exponential.

It was mathematical, marriage. Not, as one might expect, additional. It was exponential.

Possibly that's what happened out past the Böotes void—not a galactic-scale civilization, but a race of pathological cowards fleeing their own exponential transcendence.

It is no coincidence that 66 percent per year is the same as doubling every 18 months, which is the rate of Moore's Law. Five

When herding behaviour among investors ramps up, a stock's or index's growth rate can increase faster than exponentially, leading to more herding. This positive feedback brings the system to a tipping point. About two-thirds of the time, a crash results.

As order exponentially increases, time exponentially speeds up.

if you found yourself on the wrong side of that exponential equation, you were completely screwed.

Not only that, this "negative gravity" will ultimately win the tug-of-war, as it forces the cosmic expansion to accelerate exponentially into the future.

The math is unavoidable: it is an inevitable property of long-lasting exponential growth that it ends up in a singularity, a point in time when a function reaches an infinite value, making anything instantly possible.

This resulted in an exponential rise in CFC production. The annual global output of the two dominant compounds, F-11 and F-12, later known as CFC-11 and CFC-12 or R-11 and R-12, rose from less than 550 tons in 1934 to more than 50,000 tons in 1950, to about 125,000 tons in 1960, and then it soared to the peak of 812,522 tons in 1974, with the US accounting for nearly half of the total

Cómo sabemos si es posible encontrar una solución óptima para un juego u otro problema bien definido? Un problema se considera «insoluble» si el único medio conocido para hallar la solución perfecta exige verificar un cierto número de pasos que aumenta exponencialmente con su magnitud.

The value of your network goes up exponentially when you view your contacts and resources not as a list but as a network of nodes on a graph. Think of the number of connections that can connect two different nodes on that graph. It's exponential compared to the number of items in a list that connect directly to you. The way you create the network effect is by encouraging people in your network to connect to each other and to help each other.

Righteous women have changed the course of history and will continue to do so, and their influence will spread and grow exponentially throughout the eternities.

Music as a whole industry is growing exponentially, but in terms of the actual music file, when you look at the actual value there, to me, 'The Beatles' catalog should be worth more than Spotify.

Because the exponential distribution is so mathematically convenient, it is tempting to use it even when it is not appropriate.
