Some methods have already been developed for representing a set of numerical data on a pair of variables by some mathematical curves namely polynomial curve, exponential curve, modified exponential curve and logistic curve. A set of available numerical data on a pair of variables are required to be represented by different types of mathematical curves in different situations. In some situation, it is required to represent the data as mentioned by a Makeham's curve. In this study, attempt has been made on the representation of numerical data by this mathematical curve. This paper describes (i) the method of representing numerical data on a pair of variables by Makeham's curve and (ii) application of the method in representing total population of India by this curve as an example of showing the application of the method to numerical data.
