Convergence theorems are proved for an algorithm, based on finite differences, for the numerical approximation of solutions of a simplified version of the McKendrick-von Foerster model for the density of an age- structured population. This model involves an initial value problem for a first order, nonlinear hyperbolic integro-partial differential equation subject to a linear integral boundary (or renewal) condition. The method is developed for the special case when only the death rate is dependent on total population size.
