Growth will be defined as that attribute of living organisms which is manifested by a change of size of the individual, and we shall first consider growth formulae and curves. If y represents the size of any individual at time t, and if the growth process is regarded as continuous, we may define the absolute growth rate as dy/dt and the specific growth rate (which represents the change in y for change in time per unit amount of y) as 1/y dy/dt. Any statement which relates the size or growth rate of an organism to other variables will be called a growth formula; such statements are usually expressed in mathematical symbolism. Many growth formulae have been published and they have been derived by one of three methods.
