In nuclear physics, the Bateman equation is a mathematical model describing abundances and activities in a decay chain as a function of time, based on the decay rates and initial abundances. The model was formulated by Ernest Rutherford in 1905 and the analytical solution was provided by Harry Bateman in 1910. If, at time "t", there are formula_1 atoms of isotope formula_2 that decays into isotope formula_3 at the rate formula_4, the amounts of isotopes in the "k"-step decay chain evolves as: (this can be adapted to handle
