Hold this as a prompt, not a verdict. Two constructs sitting close in meaning is a reason to read them side by side and decide for yourself whether they are one idea under two names. It is not proof that they are. Compare the meanings in the Collider.

The rise over time in the total goods and services an economy produces, usually reported as the yearly percentage change in real gross domestic product or in output per worker. Solow's 1956 A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth built a model in which output rises with capital, labour, and technical progress, and argued that long-run growth in output per worker depends on advances in technology rather than on saving alone. The referent is an aggregate quantity of production expanding across years, tracked in percent per year, not a population of organisms, a belief a person holds, or the rate at which a function increases.[1]
The increase in the number of individuals in a population over time, which in the logistic model climbs quickly while the population is small and then slows as it nears the limit its environment can support. Pearl and Reed's 1920 On the Rate of Growth of the Population of the United States since 1790 and Its Mathematical Representation fitted this S-shaped curve to census counts and used it to describe how the growth rate falls as crowding rises. The referent is a count of living organisms changing across time toward a ceiling, measured as individuals added per interval, not a nation's output, a belief a person holds, or the increase of a mathematical function.[2]
A person's belief that qualities such as intelligence or talent can be developed through effort and learning rather than being fixed. In Dweck, Chiu, and Hong's 1995 Implicit Theories and Their Role in Judgments and Reactions, people who hold this incremental or growth view of ability, as opposed to a fixed view, read setbacks and effort differently and tend to keep pursuing learning after failure. The referent is a belief a person holds about whether traits can change, read from agreement with statements, not an economy's output, a population's size, or the increase of a function.[3]
How quickly the value of a function increases as its input gets large, used to compare functions by the leading behaviour they show far out rather than at any single point. Knuth's 1976 Big Omicron and Big Omega and Big Theta set out the notation, big-O, big-Omega, and big-Theta, that classifies this asymptotic growth, letting one say for instance that a function grows polynomially or exponentially. The referent is the limiting rate at which a function rises with its argument, stated as an order of growth, not an economy's output, a living population, or a belief a person holds.[4]
