Demographic analysis is a discipline that is particularly arid for students of social sciences, since it involves the use of statistical-mathematical procedures whose appearance is complex and obscure. However, the types of measurement and analysis used by the demographer are basic and fundamental in social research. This work, which takes as an example the population of Tamaulipas, aims to bring demographic analysis techniques to those students of social sciences, both undergraduate and postgraduate, who lack advanced knowledge of mathematical demography, but who have the need to address this discipline in their research. That is why aspects such as the standardization of a gross rate, the construction of a life table, the projection of a population, etc., are simplified and explained in a thorough manner to facilitate their understanding. La demografía es una ciencia social que mide y explica los acontecimientos y procesos determinantes de la formación, la conservación, la renovación, el crecimiento y la desaparición de las poblaciones humanas a través de los nacimientos, las defunciones y los movimientos migratorios. El análisis demográfico es una disciplina que resulta particularmente árida a los estudiantes de ciencias sociales, ya que implica la utilización de procedimientos estadístico-matemáticos cuya apariencia es compleja y oscura. Sin embargo, los tipos de medida y de análisis utilizados por el demógrafo son básicos y fundamentales en la investigación social. Esta obra, que toma como ejemplo a la población tamaulipeca, pretende acercar las técnicas de análisis demográfico a aquellos estudiantes de ciencias sociales, tanto de licenciatura como de postgrado, que carecen de conocimientos avanzados de demografía matemática, pero que tienen la necesidad de abordar esta disciplina en sus trabajos de investigación. Es por ello que aspectos como la estandarización de una tasa bruta, la construcción de una tabla de vida, la proyección de una población, etcétera, son simplificados y explicados de forma minuciosa para facilitar su comprensión.
