Dr. Albert Bartlett and His Famous Talk on Exponential Function

Dr. Albert A. Bartlett is Professor Emeritus in Nuclear Physics at University of Colorado here in Boulder, a member of the faculty since 1950. He has given his celebrated lecture, "Arithmetic, Population and Energy" over 1,600 times and his collected writings have been published in the book, "The Essential Exponential! For the Future of Our Planet".

I see Dr. Bartlett around town occasionally, when I attend events and talks. If you have never watched his presentation, I encourage you to do so. Below, I have assembled all of the videos together which make up his talk.

"The greatest shortcoming of the human race is our inability to understand the exponential function."
---Albert A. Bartlett
