The purpose of the Signature Assignment is to have you work with real-life data to answer a real-life question using the tools, technology, and skills of MTH/219. In the first week, you must develop a question that can be answered with numerical data and that spans over at least ten years. For example, “How has the population of the world changed over the past 50 years, and when will the population be unsustainable?”

If you chose to create your own, you must get instructor approval.
