    Solving the Sturm-Liouville System: Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenfunctions

    Thanks, I did notice that mistake :) Hey lanedance, is it possible for you to put up more of your working? I seem to be getting some thing different

    Solving ((y^2)+xy+1)dx+((x^2)+xy+1)dy=0 Using Exact Equations

    Yes, that is the precise equation. And that's how I'm stuck. Mx=2y+x Ny=2x+y I read things in my textbook that says I could times the original equation by a factor that would result in the two partial equations being equal, but that doesn't seem to work in this case. I'm completely clueless.

    Solving ((y^2)+xy+1)dx+((x^2)+xy+1)dy=0 Using Exact Equations

    Homework Statement Solve ((y^2)+xy+1)dx+((x^2)+xy+1)dy=0 using the method of exact equations. Homework Equations I must use: (N_{x}-M_{y})/(xM-yN)=F(xy) The Attempt at a Solution The problem that I'm having is that I can't get the required partial derivatives to be equal to each other...
