How life grows exponentially

Can we just talk about how this man not only made a very very very minor error in part of one of his past videos and is apologizing for it, but the fact that he apologized better than any youtube apology video ever. Like, I wasn't even disappointed or upset that he made that mistake, yet, I feel inclined to accept the apology for something that doesn't even need one. I must say, props to you Primer!

[@cello1993]

Hi I notice I'm one of the 30 people who disliked and I can provide at least one answer to your question. You may not like it but it's just an opinion. The video is easy enough to comprehend but I find the way he gets his points across convoluted - picking a simple enough mathematical concept and over-complicating it unnecessarily. I see that often in classes and teachings and it irks me. Edit: Then you can go into "oh but is that enough to devoid the video of any merit" absolutely not but the like/dislike is just that, not that big of a deal, and I disliked it for the above reason.

[@tuetruongminh2109]

@@cello1993 Just a quick personal thought here (sorry if it offense you), but it seems like he's trying to introduce the math concept that he'll inevitably use in future videos, by applying it right from the beginning. Therefore, when he introduce something more complex, he can just talk about the new stuff and add it to the equation, instead of bringing out a super weird-looking complex equation all of a sudden and explaining everything. That's a friendlier approach, don't you think ?

I've never thought about those simple relations, that can produce radically different behaviors. Thank you! The evolution model is going to be interesting. Looking forward to the next episode.

[@ElectricChaplain]

If anyone is confused about how the growth rate translates into a population graph, take note that the growth rate equation is a differential equation y' = B + (R - D)y. If you work out the math for it, you will find that the population equation is y = B / (D - R) + ce^(R - D)t, where t is time and c is some constant. Note that y is actually a family of functions, so there are infinite possible equations that fit this curve with different c values. To find c, we would need to know the value of y at some time t. If we assume the population is 0 at t=0, then c = - B / (D - R) = B / (R - D). It doesn't really matter that much though. We can explore the three cases of D > R, D = R, and D < R using this equation. If D > R, then the exponential term has a negative exponent. A property of such exponential terms is that they approach 0 as t goes to infinity. This leads to the equilibrium state described in the video, where the population will stabilize at B / (D - R) individuals. If D = R, then the curve is flat at B / (D - R) + c. If D < R, then you get a positive exponent and exponentially increasing growth.

[@bunniesarecute3135]

Thank you, i was really confused because after the video i couldn’t understand why the growth rate was exponential, and not quadratic, yet you explained this well. Guess i should brush up on my calc skills...

[@bangscutter]

This content is truly gold! You explained differential equations and solutions to differential equations, without actually going into the depths of calculus! But instead, you made it intuitive. Even more importantly, you used simulations to show that real world examples are not as neatly packaged as the precise equations; there is randomness and chaos.

[@floschar77]

Your Videos are amazing! Keep it going.

[@alexloftus8892]

Totally just realized while watching that this could be nicely modeled with a Markov chain. Are you going to get into higher-level stuff like that later, or stick with these basics? Thanks for the video - really cool channel, I'm excited to see where it goes! Subscribed.

[@PrimerBlobs]

Thanks for the sub! For now, I'm planning to keep using sims as a tool but not make any videos directly about the sim methods. It's an interesting idea to make a video about that, though, since building the sim is a great way to deeply understand the system. I'd be interested to see an implementation of this that uses a Markov chain. If you end up building something like this, it could be cool to discuss on the subreddit. If you want to look at my code, it's on github: github.com/Helpsypoo/primer. I warn you, though, it's a bit spaghetti and doesn't have a readme yet.

Dude please keep up the good work. These videos are extremely impressive for an independent creator. I can't believe you don't have more success yet.

[@Hazsnatcher]

When you say it, it makes so much sense. You show how the different rates of birth death and spontaneous growth levels it self out even when the death in higher, but if the spontaneous rate were to be 0% than you would have to have the birth and death ratio the same or it will loose control. But if the growth is too high obviously like your other video it will start to level its self out but due to different mutations can change population but maintain a ongoing civilisation. Man your smart!!! I would love to see more!!!!
