Logistic population growth model

In time [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta t }[/math] the population grows by [math]\displaystyle{ \alpha\cdot y -\tau\cdot y^2 }[/math] elements: [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta y = (\alpha\cdot y- \tau\cdot y^2)\cdot \Delta t }[/math], that is [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{\Delta y}{\Delta t} = \alpha\cdot y -\tau\cdot y^2 }[/math].

With [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta t\to 0 }[/math] we get [math]\displaystyle{ \frac{d y}{d t} = \alpha\cdot y -\tau\cdot y^2 }[/math], i.e. [math]\displaystyle{ y' = \alpha\cdot y -\tau\cdot y^2 }[/math].

The initial population is [math]\displaystyle{ y(0)= s }[/math], [math]\displaystyle{ \tau:=0.3 }[/math].

The blue line is the simulation with [math]\displaystyle{ \Delta t = 0.1 }[/math].
