The video tutorial introduces a linear growth model problem, explaining how a population grows linearly using a recursive formula. The initial population is given, and the video demonstrates how to calculate subsequent values P1, P2, and P3. An explicit formula for Pn is derived, and the value of P23 is calculated using this formula. The tutorial concludes with a call to action for viewers to engage with the content by liking and subscribing.
