 With the accuracy of the tracking confirmed, the next step was to calculate the growth rate.
 For small perturbations, a linear analysis is used to show that the position of the interface at x = 0 rises exponentially as:
-[[latex($y(t)=y_o e^{\gamma t}$)]]
-Taking the log of both sides yields:
-[[latex($\log{y(t)}=\log{y_o}+\gamma t$)]]
+[[latex($y(t)=y_o e^{\gamma t}$)]].  Taking the log of both sides yields: [[latex($\log{y(t)}=\log{y_o}+\gamma t$)]].  Therefore, the slope of a [[latex($\log{y(t)} vs. t$)]] plot would yield the growth rate [[latex($\gamma$)]].
