* If daily user growth is increasing linearly, total user count is exponential over time.
* If I have a radially symmetric shape it's center of gravity is going to be centered on the axis of symmetry - if the density is uniform. But if the density isn't uniform, where will the center of balance shift?
This is single dimension and multi-dimensional calculus, respectively. I bet most engineers use at least the former, at an intuitive level, on a regular basis.
- flopquads 4y ago"total user count is exponential over time" No, it's quadratic over time.
- xvedejas 4y agoIf daily user growth is increasing linearly, total user count is squaring over time. Exponential growth would be when daily growth is proportional to the current number of users, which is different.

- hnfong 4y agoIndeed. Maybe it's considered higher math where the GP lives, but I think I definitely learned basic concepts of quadratic functions by 8th grade...
