From Axioms to Zeta-functions: if it involves shapes, numbers, or logic, we've (probably) got a theory of it!
Help with the Automatic Baby Cannon
Okay... this isn't what it originaly sounds like.
I came here from the wroldbuilding community after we seemed to be trying to do a job that we seem to be horrible at and this community seems like there might be some people that understand how to do "a simple mathematics"
I'm trying to do a story which contains a society which is pushing the human reproductive system to the absolute limit (hence the joke in the title), trying to go from 10-20 thousand people to a population of five billion in less than a century. The only problem is that we're not really sure how to calculate it.
Can anyone here give me an equation to figure this out, the maximum growth rate for a population of humans or estamate for what would be the minimum starting population to get from one to the other within the century time limit that the story requires (though I can push a few of the variables... to a point)
Thanks, and happy mathing.
