The document discusses using the Bernoulli equation to model population growth, specifically Sweden's population growth over time. It provides an overview of the Bernoulli equation, which assumes population density only affects the per capita mortality rate. The document shows that when applying the Bernoulli equation to Sweden's population data, the population graph resembles the curve produced by the Bernoulli equation, demonstrating its usefulness in modeling and predicting population growth patterns over time.

3. Bernoulli
 Created by Jakob Bernoulli
 Assumes that the population density only affects the
per capita mortality rate
μ(t,N)=m0
+m(t)Nθ
Use this equation to model Sweden’s Population

4. Sweden’s Population Growth

5. What did we find out?
The population of Sweden has a large
period of growth, and tapers out
towards later years.
The Swedish Population
graph resembles the
Bernoulli equation shown on
the right

6. What did we discover
 The Bernoulli equation is very useful in modeling
and predicting population growth and changes.
