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"

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+.

Get the Exponetising mug.A number that is given with very large uncertainties, such that it might be ten or a hundred (or more) times larger or smaller than the value given. Astrophysics is famous for having 'errors in the exponent'
..."We estimate the minimum viable population to be somewhere between 100 and 5000" (extremes from the wikipedia article)
... "in our universe protons decay with a time scale in the range 10^33 - 10^45 years"
These quantities don't have an error in the value, they have an error in the exponent.
