Fall 94, Project 1 Project I, MATH 106 Click to download the TeX file for this project. Part of your grade will be based on the quality of your written presentation. The paper you turn in should have a mix of equations, formulas and prose. Graphs may be copied directly from your calculator, but should be clearly labelled. Use complete sentences, good grammar and correct punctuation.
Spelling is also important.
You should aim to write your report in such a way that it can be read and understood by anyone who knows the material for this course. Use the data from Table I to find a formula which approximately models the growth of the population over the years 1790-1850. Justify your choice of model and comment on how well it fits the data. Find a straight line which comes as close as possible to passing through these points and use this line to find a new model for the US population. Plot your model against the data and comment on its strengths and weaknesses.
