Abstract
Exponential growth features frequently in epidemiological projections. Because of carelessness or ignorance, its implications can be easily, and sometimes grievously, underestimated. Sheldon Lee Glashow provides a brief refresher, along with a dramatic demonstration of the power of exponential growth as found in the legend of the chessboard, described in 1256 CE by the Kurdish historian Ibn Khallikān.
