Baby Boomers Need to Understand the Exponential Function
Friday, January 29th, 2010
In his State of the Union address last night President Obama promised to double exports in 5 years. Is that possible?
Normally this would not worry me too much but I recently watched a series of 8 YouTube video of Dr Albert A. Bartlett Professor Emeritus at the University of Colorado lecturing on the exponential function.
His opening statement is,
“The Greatest Shortcoming of the Human Race is our Inability to Understand the Exponential Function”.
To those that may be mathematically challenged it is all about things that increase at a constant rate and what happens over the long term.
