Logistic Growth and Differential Equations

This video tutorial by Mr. Bean focuses on logistic growth differential equations, a topic in BC calculus. It covers the concept of logistic growth, its real-world applications, and the characteristics of logistic functions. The tutorial explains how to formulate and manipulate logistic differential equations, discusses the point of inflection and maximum growth rate, and provides practice problems and examples to reinforce understanding.
