One of the concepts I teach in my Quantitative Reasoning class is the idea of “Exponential Growth.” Such growth, where a variable grows by a fixed percent, is found in such things as population growth ...

You could use a computer to fit an exponential function to the data and measure how well it fits. But how about just turning an exponential function into a linear function?

Sure, “exponential growth” sounds impressive. But it usually isn’t. By Manil Suri Dr. Suri teaches math at the University of Maryland, Baltimore County. Here’s a trend I find worrisome ...
