Abstract
In 1907 the American chemist Alfred Lotka started to study the relation between birth rate, age-specific death rates and the rate of population growth using a continuous-time model. In 1911 he published another article on the same subject with F.R. Sharpe, which also included age-specific fertility rates. The implicit equation giving the population growth rate is often called “Lotka’s equation”.
