Chapter
Abstract
The material reproduced here is a continuation of paper 45. Kendall’s equation (1), required for this section, is the differentia \(\frac{dN}{dt}=\mathit{v}N\), whose solution is the familiar exponential N(t) = N(0)e vt , where N(t) is total population size at time t and v is the intrinsic growth rate.
