title: An approximate solution to the Lamm equation.
abstract: An approximate solution to the Lamm equation subject to the initial and boundary conditions for conventional sedimentation velocity experiments is derived and compared with the approximate solution of Fujita and MacCosham. Calculations with this solution demonstrate that the half-height method of estimating sedimentation coefficients yields correct values for epsilon < 0.02.
