exponentially
Though in
mathematics and in formal use, "exponentially" describes something which is growing and whose rate of
growth is accelerating, in casual use the word is
bastardized and is simply a generic intensifier. See also: "literally."

Example:
Question:How do you solve 2y'=y ?
Answer: Well, you
integrate the equation
y'=y/2, then exponentiate both sides to get y=Ce^(1/
2x).

A Concept that the rate of growth is increasing, and the
rate that the rate of growth is increasing is increasing. Word comes from "
exponent" which is when the exponent rises, the base increases but more and more each time, making a graph that will eventually appear to be completely vertical on any
scaled graph.

Applies to any rate of growth which is larger than some expected rate of growth.
In common usage, however, only a
small sample size is available, and
exponential applies to sufficiently large positive rate of growth.
In mathematical terms,
exponential growth is "superlinear"
Example:
Person 1: The number of African American
presidents in the US is growing
exponentially.
Person 2: That's right!
Person 1:
The ant population in my kitchen seems to double every week.
Person 2: Oh... well at least it's not growing exponentially
Person 3: x log x grows exponentially.

the fact of life where all work for any given task that would equal 90% is done again to reach the 100% goal, thereby having an
exponential effect. This case is not always a
90/10 degree and can
deviate either way to some degree. In terms of college, this can lead to battle of whether to spend the enormous amount of time working for that perfect score, or catching up on not so needed sleep. For most students, the answer is almost immediately obvious.
Example:
By following the
natural law of exponentiality, I decided to not put in the extra book of research for my last essay on "
Theories behind
Moore's Law" for my Professor....I got a B+.

Example:
Lisa:
Aaron, this
chili is even better than it was yesterday!
Aaron: I know, and it will be even better tomorrow because it is
exponential chili.
