The following cell defines a sequence representing a linear population model. Evaluate that cell now. ;[s] 5:0,3;68,0;113,1;124,0;242,2;266,-1; 4:2,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,0,0,0; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] Clear[p] (* Forget any old information *) (* about p. *) p[1] := 50 p[n_] := 0.80 * p[n-1] + 1000 ;[s] 3:0,0;12,1;89,0;132,-1; 2:2,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,0; :[font = special1; inactive; preserveAspect; ] Now you can examine the population in any year, for example year 10, as illustrated in the cell below.

Evaluate that cell now. Notice the 20 that indicates the number of years to be printed. ;[s] 6:0,0;31,1;42,0;81,2;106,3;169,2;170,-1; 4:2,13,9,Times,0,12,0,0,0;1,13,9,Times,2,12,0,0,0;2,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,0;1,13,9,Times,1,12,65535,0,65535; :[font = input; preserveAspect; ] TableForm[Table[{i, p[i]}, {i, 1, 20}]] ;[s] 3:0,0;34,1;36,0;40,-1; 2:2,12,10,Courier,1,12,0,0,0;1,12,10,Courier,1,12,65535,0,65535; :[font = special1; inactive; preserveAspect; ] The cell below illustrates how Mathematica can be used to plot several years.
