That's exponential.

  Indeed! One has got to appreciate how words in the English language are not always (read: never) the best way to describe math. By the way, this reminds of the series 1/n^s and the fact that the sum converges exactly for s > 1, but diverges for 1/n. Personally, I prefer to call the latter s = 1 case the infinite pizza series, since it can ensure that you have free pizza for the rest of your life by choosing an interval for n large enough to be ~1 in the sum; every day. And by the way again, this is also the Riemann Zeta! [1] [1] Provided that complex exponentiation is explained to you in a way that doesn't lead the same sensational misgivings written about Heisenberg uncertainty in Medium articles...

    Oh yeah and more more thing: 1% on it's own is exponential, but the key fact is that in logistic growth the exponential factor (or rather compound factor) goes down over time... much like changing the s over time in the above example of 1/n^s.
