Logistic Growth and Carrying Capacity

Modeling growth that is constrained by environmental or physical factors.

Key Questions

  1. 1How does a logistic model account for reality in ways that a simple exponential model cannot?
  2. 2What mathematical features of an equation represent the carrying capacity of a system?
  3. 3Why does the point of maximum growth occur at exactly half of the carrying capacity?
