Presents part seven of a continuing presentation of exponential functions. Provided is an extension of the part six discussion, exponential population growth, to world population growth. (SL)

Presents the sixth article of a series examining the arithmetic of exponential functions and its role in the growth of populations. (SL)

Discusses issues related to perpetual population growth. Argues that if we believe that there are no limits to growth, we will have to abandon the concept of a spherical Earth which puts limits to growth. (JRH)

Presents part eight of a continuing series on the exponential function in which, given the current population of the Earth and assuming a constant growth rate of 1.9 percent backward looks at world population are made. (SL)

Examines what is believed to be the forgotten fundamental of the energy crisis, the elementary arithmetic of growth. The arithmetic is applied to what is known about the reserves of fossil fuels. A large number of erroneous pronouncements from public figures and news media are collected here. (SA)

Applies exponential growth and the speed of doubling times to the energy crises. Increases comprehension of this mathematical law and the significance of findings made through its use. Examines statements from authoritative sources on energy to illustrate the lack of understanding of arithmetic's relationship to the energy crisis. Suggests ways to…
