    Efficient Integration Techniques: Solving the Gaussian Distribution

    Hi everyone, I am new to Physics Forums so please excuse me - I am so embarrassed that I can't do this integral, but its quite urgent and so if anyone here could help me I would be much obliged! The integral I must carry out is: \int_{-\infty}^{\infty}e^{-ax^{2}}\,\text{cos}kx\,dx...

    LaTeX Organizing Tables Side-by-Side: A Report Writing Challenge

    I'm currently trying to write a report at the moment with some tables for some data, and it would be ideal for me to put these tables side-by-side if possible. However, I'm not sure as to how this can be achieved; I've currently doing \documentclass{article} with multiple figures of graphs...

    IR spectra and point group symmetry

    Hello I'm currently studying the reaction of anisole with hexacarbonylchromium, and experiment shows the displacement of 2 of the carbonyl ligands with the anisole group, forming a 2-η ligand with the chromium ion. After refluxing to obtain the crystals, IR and nmr spectra of the sample...

    Are Chemists Less Esteemed Than Physicists?

    I would say it is not true at all. As a chemist myself, you might say I am biased, but at university level (at least) from what I observed the level of knowledge in each of the science disciplines is so specific that is is virtually impossible to compare. The level of knowledge required to...

    BB Theory vs. Theory of Evolution - which is more thrustworthy?

    Oh I see what your trying to say. Thats fair enough then why you think fact and theory should be distinguished. But all in all, just because evolution is called a 'theory' doesn't disprove that it *does* happen.

    An evening w/ the lady or an evening w/ the guys?

    A woman, definetly. If only for a change, as meeting with blokes and a group of males isn't exactly hard.

    BB Theory vs. Theory of Evolution - which is more thrustworthy?

    Well, its only called a theory as it is the highest form of proof possible without use of mathematics, i.e. the definition of theory. Hence, it isn't too far off to say fact of evolution. After all, at a cellular level, evolution has been *observed* directly. Its just that at the large scale...
