APPLICATION OF MATHEMATICAL MODELING TO STUDY THE POPULATION GROWTH OF SERGIPE

Abstract

Knowledge of population growth of a particular region is of great importance for the political interests are reassessed and refocused. The objective of this work is to use the Malthusian model that takes into account the mathematical tool of Differential equations, in particular the separation of variables, and apply to the study of population growth in the state of Sergipe. The results showed significantly close to the estimated values by the IBGE (Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics). It is observed, that the forecast population growth for Sergipe has de-creased, changing from continuous to a discrete model by the year 2050.
