Thomas Malthus?s catastrophic v i e w o f w o r l d population and
famine referred to in the chapter opener has caused many to
worry. A growing p o p u l a t i o n should motivate Christians to dem-
onstrate better d o m i n i o n . In 1913 Fritz Haber and Carl Bosch
introduced a method for t u r n i n g nitrogen found i n the air into
synthetic fertilizer, and f o o d production exploded. D u r i n g the
resulting ?green revolution? later i n the century, f o o d produc-
tion grew faster than the population. Technology and the math
behind it often make it possible to use G o d - p r o v i d e d resources m o r e efficiently.

Quadratic functions are used to m o d e l phenomena such as area, expenses,p r o f i t s ,


n e u e motion, populations, and f o o d production. T h e y can help us m e e t the
