This example is also used in the article on Euler’s Constant (e); its use here demonstrates how exp(n) is equivalent to e^n.

Population Growth

// Compressed
prop("Starting Num") * exp(prop("Growth Rate") * prop("Periods"))

// Expanded
prop("Starting Num") * 
exp(
    prop("Growth Rate") * 
    prop("Periods")
)
