Applies to any rate of growth which is larger than some expected rate of growth.
In common usage, however, only a small sample size is available, and exponential applies to sufficiently large positive rate of growth.
In mathematical terms, exponential growth is "superlinear"

Person 2: That's right!

Person 2: Oh... well at least it's not growing exponentially
Person 3: x log x grows exponentially.

Get the exponentially mug.The name of the brown coated (white around certain areas) colt (when you first recieve her) in Zelda:Ocarnia of Time, by Nintendo. Link is given her by Maylon, from the Lon Lon Ranch. When Link recieves the ocarnia, he is able to call Epona with "Epona's Song." (Surprise.) He can use her to ride...around. Faster. She has a carrot meter at the top of the screen to measure how much energy she has left.

Get the epona mug.the fact of life where all work for any given task that would equal 90% is done again to reach the 100% goal, thereby having an exponential effect. This case is not always a 90/10 degree and can deviate either way to some degree. In terms of college, this can lead to battle of whether to spend the enormous amount of time working for that perfect score, or catching up on not so needed sleep. For most students, the answer is almost immediately obvious.
By following the natural law of exponentiality, I decided to not put in the extra book of research for my last essay on "Theories behind Moore's Law" for my Professor....I got a B+.
