    Titius-Bode law, any analytical or numerical derivation?

    They say this is just by chance. But maybe some bright spark has come up with a mathematical derivation for it? Alternatively, what about simulating the cloud of the early solar system on a computer. Would the Titius-Bode pattern of the planet distances arise? Here's the law...

    How to Excel Analytical Chemistry

    I just got my Analytical Chemistry test grade. It's fine but not a great grade. Everybody thinks it was a problem of time constraint.I think it's because were given question types that are different from what is in our book. Around 70% is very acceptable. The rest is a complicated problem that...
