The historic total global human population dataset is available on Wikipedia and provides an opportunity for modelling with simple models such as the exponential and logistic differential equations for population. Using the per-capita population growth rate (PPGR) predicted by these two models and estimated PPGR from the data, we are able to…

Cybersex is the use of the Internet and its services to achieve sexual arousal and pleasure. This use, however, can become excessive and uncontrolled. Common consequences of a problematic engagement in online sexual activities are the deterioration of real-life romantic relationships and the occurrence of sexual dysfunctions, even in young…

In this paper, we discuss how a professor could have students, using rational and exponential functions, develop models for several different density-dependent populations based on characteristics of the species. Students would then need to choose an appropriate method from among three different analytic methods (find a solution, phase-line…
