    The document describes and compares geometric and exponential models of population growth. It shows a table with variables like total population (Nt), births, deaths, and change in population (ΔNt) over 20 time periods with a constant growth rate (R) of 0.75 for the geometric model. Graphs show Nt, births, deaths, and ΔNt/Nt over time. A second table compares calculated values of Nt for exponential and geometric models with a constant growth rate (r and R) of 0.25. The geometric model assumes constant per capita birth and death rates while the exponential model assumes a constant growth rate.
