    MHB Help on a 2nd Order Linear Differential Equation

    Hi, I need help solving this ODE. I know the answer is a Bessel function but I need help on the process of getting there. Initial conditions y(0)=1 and y'(0)=0 xy''+y'+xy=0 I have made it this far... ${x}^{2}*\sum_{n=0}^{inf} [n(n+1)*{C}_{n+2}+(n+1)*{C}_{n+1}+{C}_{n}]*{x}^{n}=0$

    MHB First Order Nonlinear Differential Equation

    Hi, I need help solving this ode, when I try to solve it I end up with a big crazy answer and I believe it should be simpler. (dy/dx)^2=((ay^4)/2)-(a+1)y^2+1 y(0)=0, y'(0)=1 and a is within [0,1]
