Pierre François Verhulst (1804–1849) was a Belgian mathematician and logician best known for his work in the field of population dynamics. He formulated the logistic growth model, which describes how populations grow in an environment with limited resources. The logistic equation he developed is commonly used to model the growth of populations in ecology, economics, and other fields.
