Numerical Solutions to the Logistic Equation: Exploring Population Models in Spreadsheets
Introduction The logistic equation is a fundamental mathematical model used to describe population growth in a constrained environment. It was first proposed by Pierre-François Verhulst in 1838 and is expressed as: Here, P represents the population size at time t, r is the intrinsic growth rate, and K is the carrying capacity of the environment,…
