Well pretty much all you need to understand is that 'd' stands for the difference in population and 'n' after the amount of days. Just click on the link and replace the values in wolfram alpha.
For example, Starrie has 19 million more citizens than Aeridani. I plugin 19 for 'd' and 365 for 'n' which will give me the amount of chance that in one year from now, Aeridani will have a higher population than Starrie: 19.5%
