Introduction to Logistic Models as a Refinement to Exponential Growth
Understand the logistic function P(t) = L / (1 + C e^(-kt)) as an S-shaped refinement that captures initial exponential growth followed by saturation.

Evaluate exponential models using differentiation and asymptotic limits, and extend modelling techniques to bounded growth and logistic saturation curves.
[Understand and use exponential growth and decay; use in modelling (examples may include the use of e in continuous compound interest, radioactive decay, drug concentration decay, exponential growth as a model for population growth); consideration of limitations and refinements of exponential models]
