Q & A
What is the Mausian model?
-The Mausian model, proposed by British economist Thomas Robert Malthus in 1798, suggests that population growth follows an exponential pattern, while the resources necessary for survival grow linearly or arithmetically. It predicts that unchecked population growth will eventually surpass the capacity of available resources, leading to a population crash.
What is the mathematical expression of the Mausian model?
-The Mausian model is represented by a simple differential equation: the derivative of P with respect to time T (dP/dT) equals to the constant growth rate R multiplied by the population at time T (R * P(T)).
How is the Mausian model solved mathematically?
-The Mausian model is solved by separation of variables, integrating both sides to obtain the natural log of the population P equals to R times time T plus an integration constant C. The exponential form of the solution is P(T) equals to P0 (initial population) times e to the power of R times T.
What are the applications of the Mausian model?
-The Mausian model can be used to estimate historical population numbers, predict future population growth trends to assist governments in planning resource allocations, and monitor population growth rates for early detection of potential population crises. It can also help estimate whether specific resources in certain areas are sufficient to meet future population demands.
How was the world population growth calculated from 200,000 to 2010 using the Mausian model?
-The world population growth was calculated using the exponential growth formula with an initial population of 6.14 billion and an intrinsic growth rate of approximately 1.4% per year, resulting in a chart of population growth during 2000 to 2010.
What are the limitations of the Mausian model?
-The Mausian model is overly idealistic as it assumes unlimited resources, which does not align with real-world conditions. In reality, there are resource constraints, and population growth is usually not exponential due to various factors such as medical advancements and policy influences.
What is the logistic model and how does it differ from the Mausian model?
-The logistic model, introduced by Pierre-François Verhulst in 1838, assumes limited resources and predicts that population growth will slow down and eventually stabilize at a carrying capacity. It differs from the Mausian model by taking resource limitations into account, providing a more realistic prediction of population dynamics.
What is the mathematical expression of the logistic model?
-The logistic model is represented by the differential equation dP/dT = R * P(T) * (1 - P(T)/K), where P(T) is the population at time T, R is the intrinsic growth rate, and K is the carrying capacity.
How is the logistic equation solved?
-The logistic equation is solved to show that the population at time T (P(T)) equals K divided by 1 plus (K minus P0) over P0 times e to the power of negative R times T, where P0 is the initial population.
What is the carrying capacity in the context of the logistic model?
-The carrying capacity (K) in the logistic model is the maximum population size that the environment can sustain indefinitely, given the food, habitat, water, and other resources available.
How does the logistic model account for real-world population growth?
-The logistic model accounts for real-world population growth by incorporating the concept of carrying capacity, which reflects the environmental pressures and resource limitations that influence population growth rates and lead to stabilization.
What is the current global population as of May 2024 according to the script?
-As of May 2024, the global population has surpassed 8.1 billion, indicating an acceleration in population growth rates after the rapid growth following the Black Death and the Great Famine in the 14th and 18th centuries.
How does human overuse of Earth's environment impact the planet?
-Human overuse of Earth's environment leads to resource consumption exceeding the planet's regenerative capacity and ecosystem degradation. This results in visible damages such as deforestation, overfishing, and climate change, which can cause resource shortages, loss of biodiversity, and ultimately affect human development.
What is the conclusion of the engineering mathematics report on population growth models?
-The conclusion is that while the Mausian model introduced the fundamental concept of exponential growth useful for analyzing population dynamics, it is overly idealistic. The logistic model improves upon the Mausian model by considering resource limitations and the importance of carrying capacity. However, real-world population growth has exceeded predictions, exerting even greater pressure on the environment due to human overdevelopment and exploitation.
Outlines
📊 Malthusian Model and Exponential Growth
The first paragraph introduces the Malthusian model, proposed by Thomas Robert Malthus in 1798. It discusses the model's assertion that population growth follows an exponential pattern while the growth of resources is arithmetic. The model predicts a population crash due to unchecked growth surpassing resource availability. The mathematical expression is given by the differential equation \( \frac{dP}{dT} = R \cdot P(T) \), where \( P(T) \) is the population at time \( T \) and \( R \) is the constant growth rate. The solution is derived using separation of variables, leading to an exponential form. Applications of the model include estimating historical population numbers, predicting future growth trends, and assessing resource sufficiency for future demands. An example calculation for world population growth from 2000 to 2010 is provided, using an initial population of 6.14 billion and a growth rate of 1.4% per year.
🔍 Logistic Model and Realistic Population Dynamics
The second paragraph delves into the logistic model, introduced by Pierre François Verhulst in 1838, as an improvement over the Malthusian model by incorporating resource limitations. The logistic model's differential equation is presented as \( \frac{dP}{dT} = R \cdot P(T) \cdot (1 - \frac{P(T)}{K}) \), where \( K \) is the carrying capacity. The solution to this equation is given, showing how population growth slows and stabilizes near \( K \). The paragraph also discusses applying the logistic model to the world population growth from 2000 to 2010, with an initial population of 6.14 billion, a growth rate of 1.4%, and a carrying capacity of 7 billion people. The actual global population growth is contrasted with the predictions of both the Malthusian and logistic models, noting that the real growth lies between the two. The paragraph concludes with a discussion on the environmental pressures caused by population growth and the need for sustainable resource management.
🌿 Addressing Environmental Impact and Resource Overuse
The third paragraph addresses the environmental impact of human overuse of Earth's resources, leading to resource shortages, loss of biodiversity, and climate change. It emphasizes the importance of cherishing resources and minimizing harm to the Earth. The paragraph concludes by summarizing the Malthusian and logistic models, highlighting the transition from an idealistic view of unlimited resources to a more realistic approach that considers resource limitations and carrying capacity. It also touches on the consequences of environmental degradation and the need for sustainable development to mitigate the pressures on the environment caused by human activities.

our
groups what is the mausan model the
mauian model proposed by the British
Economist Thomas Robert mos in
1798 suggests that population growth
follows an exponential pattern while the
resources necessary for survival growth
linearly or
arithmetically according to this model
if population growth remains unchecked
it will eventually surpass the capacity
of available resources leading to a
population
crasis the methan model assumes that the
population growth rate is directly
proportional to the current population
size the mathematical expression of this
model is represented by a simple
differential ination the derivative of P
of T equals to R * P of T where P of T
represents the population at the time T
and R is the constant growth rate now
let's delve into the mathematical
expression of the methan
model let's solve it by separation of
variables first
let's integrate both sides
simultaneously then we can obtain
natural log P equals to R * t + C where
C is the integration
constant the exponential form of the
solution is p of T equals to p 0 *
exponential of R * T where p 0 is the
initial
population applications of the methan
model first we can use this model to rly
estimate the historical population
numbers second we can predict future
population growth Trends through the
model which can assist governments in
planning resource allocations and early
detection of potential population crisis
by monitoring population growth rates
third through the model we can estimate
whether specific resources in certain
areas such as water land and energy are
sufficient to meet future population
demands in this page we will calculate
the world population growth from 200000
to 2010 by using the original matusan
model using the exponential growth
formula mentioned earlier let's plug in
the initial population of 6.14 billion
and an intrinsic growth rate of
approximately 1.4% per
year with the calculation of previous
page we can get this chart of population
growth during 2000 to
2010 the models discussed earlier are
all based on ideal conditions without
any
constraints however in reality there are
many issues to consider firstly there
are resource constraints ideally
resources are infinite and can
accommodate unlimited population growth
but this is not the case in reality
secondly advancements in medical
technology or policy influences can
affect population growth in specific
regions therefore population growth in
reality is usually not
exponential so in this page we are going
to talking about the introduction to the
larest model to address the limitation
of the mausan model
and this
words
FR introduced the logistic model in
1838 assuma limit Resources with
population grow slowing down and
eventually stabilizing at a c varing
capacity and on the next page we are
going to talking
about mathematical expression of the
logistic model differential equation
from the derivative of P equals RP where
P of T is the population at time t r is
the intrinsic growth rate and K is the
carrying
capacity on this page is going to
showing you how to solving the logistic
equation solving the logistic equation P
of T = k/ 1 + K minus p 0 over P0
exponential minus r t where p Z is the
indidual population describes population
growth that is exp exponential initially
slowing down as it approaches the
carrying capacity eventually stabilizing
near
K and the population growth 20 to 2010
logistic model
let's apply the exponential growth
formula mentioned yearly by
substituting the initial population of
6.14 billion and and intrinsic growth
rates of
approximately
1.4% per year additionally let's
consider a carrying capacity of 7
billion
people population growth curve is
displayed on the next
SL so as you can see the table of it in
contrast under constrain conditions the
ideal population size is not as high as
previously predict with a significant
decrease in the weight of the population
increase so the real world population
growth as of May
2024 the global population has surpassed
8.1 billion after the rapid population
grow following the black death and the
great F famine in the 4 18 century
factors contributing to a Slowdown in
population
growth diminishes after the two World
Wars this has led to
an
accelerated global population growth
rate exceeding
1.8%
anually the growing population has
intensified resour
consumption necessi more energy and
generating more waste th increasing
environmental
pressure from this chart we can observe
that the actual population growth lies
between the Mion model and the logic
model it is slightly lower than the
predictions made by the ausan model but
somewhat higher than those predict by
the logic
model and on this this page are talking
about human overuse of Earth
environment it is well known that human
activities have caused tremendous damage
to the Earth
when the environment is
overuses it Leeds to
Resource consumption exceeding
Earth's
regenerative capacity
and E
ecosystem
degradation which are iro visible
damages specific cases include

change the consequence of overusing
resource resulting in resource
shortages loss of
biod diversity and
criminate an noral PE impact
ultimately affect human
development therefore we must learn to
cherish resources and minimize harm to
the Earth as much as
possible the last in conclusion the M

population growth however the Maan model
is overly idealistic as it assumes
