Abstract

Cauchy’s formula for integration of a function of complex variable is applied to radioactive disintegration. Harry Bateman’s formula for successive radioactive decays converted into an elegant form. Mathematical singularities suggested peculiar instabilities in the physical system. The singular points in l- domain, are the localities of radioactive decay of the physical system.
