INTERPOLATION METHODS APPLIED TO THE POPULATION GROWTH ESTIMATE

Abstract

Understanding the processes of population change has become important and impregnable for the study in several areas of science, especially the environmental one. In this way, this article intends to use two methods of population estimation with the objective of interpreting and representing the changes in the population dynamics of a municipality, analyzing its current and future conjuncture. Based on a database based on the demographic censuses already carried out, the study identified that between the applied method, being arithmetic and geometric, the second presented a better response and behavior for the case study analyzed, since it allowed an analysis population. Therefore, there is a need for the continuation of research involving mathematical methods to expand the field of environmental, social and analytical studies.
