Exponential growth and epidemics

The video tutorial explains exponential growth using COVID-19 data, highlighting how small changes can lead to significant increases over time. It covers the mathematical basis of exponential growth, its graphical representation, and how to predict growth trends. The tutorial also introduces logistic curves and inflection points, discusses community spread and fractal patterns, and emphasizes the impact of reducing growth rates on projections.
