ON THE SOLUTION OF LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF SECOND ORDER WITH VARIABLE COEFFICIENTS

Abstract

A method is introduced whereby the solution of a linear differential equation of the second order with variable coefficients is determined as a series of indefinite integrals performed on one of the coefficients. The method gives immediate solutions with a minimum of calculations when the appropriate integrals can be performed. An illustrative example is included. (Author)
