Can anyone tell me how to calculate population growth. my book doesn't tell me how to do that.
is the formula rN=dN/dt
is the formula rN=dN/dt

SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating population growth using the formula rN = dN/dt, which represents a basic model for population dynamics. Participants confirm that this formula is effective for estimating growth rates. To apply this model, one must solve the associated differential equation by separating variables and integrating both sides. This approach provides a foundational understanding of population growth calculations.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of differential equations
