Abstract

INTRODUCTION: The fundamental concept in the mathematical modeling of populations is the "population size". Depending on the type of population analyzed, this size can be expressed in various ways, such as the number of individuals, weight, volume, mass, density, or even a percentage of any of these measures (ALMEIDA, 2003). The analysis of population dynamics is extremely relevant to society, encompassing economic, political and sociocultural aspects (SETI et al., 1999).   

To investigate population dynamics, a variety of mathematical models are used. The most prominent being Malthus's Theory (1798) and Verhulst's Statistical Model (1838).
