This Bacterial Growth module examines how the time dependence of an idealized bacterial population is affected by the population’s interactions with itself and its environment. This model of a bacterial population leads to a simple, yet nonlinear equation. This module extends the discussion of exponential growth in Decay & Growth should be worked on before this one.

PREVIOUS MODULE: The module Bugs should be worked on before this one.
NEXT MODULE: Random Numbers
