Introduction: This activity explores exponential growth and decay, emphasizing the paired concepts of doubling and half-life. Exponential growth is derived from actual computations to obtain compound interest, whereas exponential decay is modeled by the use of “radioactive” dice. The activity is based on the concept of the differentiated core curriculum, which asserts that all students should be guaranteed equal access to the same curricular topics but recognizes that all students may not explore the content to the same depth or at the same level of formalism.

If design management is worldwide institutionalized especially in developed economies, little is known about African design even though the continent is becoming an attractive economy thanks to his exponential growth and more political stability. Oriented toward one specific country: Morocco, this study through a questioning embedded in institutional theory brings an overview about design in a specific context. This research captures design management emergence in Morocco by spotting the light on the state of design institutionalization toward the creation of design value.

Much of the communication around the current pandemic stresses the exponential growth in the number of infections. We observe that this approach may backfire: it becomes difficult to convince people to obey strict constraints when what will be achieved is merely a short delay in that growth. Based on a method we successfully used in a context of pension savings, we suggest how best to frame the gains of delaying tactics

The exponential growth in the volume of Earth observation data and the increasing quality and availability of high-resolution imagery are increasingly making more applications possible in urban environments [...]
