title: A numerical method of population projection.
abstract: "In this paper a numerical method has been developed to project the total population of a geographical region.  The method has been applied to the Indian situation.  It is found that the total population of India was expected to lie between [836 million and 850 million in 1991 and between 986 million and 1,042 million] in 2001."
