Exponential Functions
Introduction
Larry Gladney is Associate Professor of Physics and Dennis DeTurck is Professor of Mathematics, both at the University of Pennsylvania.
The most useful functions for science are exponential functions. They have an incredible number of applications -- we present two in this module.
