    Graduate Pointers for the solution of 2nd order DE with variable coefficient

    Hi JJacquelin, Thanks for your pointer; I got a series solution together ok, though it seems to blow up strangely. Anyway, I would certainly be interested in seeing the analytical form of the solution to said de. I’ll have a look at those functions that you suggested. Cheers, C

    Graduate Can Creation and Annihilation Operators Solve the Hydrogen Atom Problem?

    Just a quick question regarding the solution of the hydrogen atom: is it possible to solve the hydrogen atom problem via creation and annihilation operators as is the case with the harmonic oscillator? Any help here greatly appreciated! Crawf.
