Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Ordinary and Partial Differential Equations
The expression 'binomial equations' is applied in this work (in a sense introduced by Boole) to those linear equations which are included in the general form, (S)y -fx% (tf)y = o, and which constitute the class of equations best adapted to solution by development in series. In the sections treating of this method a uniform process has been adopted for the secondary or logarithmic solutions which occur in certain cases. The development of the particular integral when the second member is a power of xis also considered. Chapter VIII is devoted to the general solution of the binomial equation in the notation of the hypergeometric series, and Chapter IX to Riccati s, Bessel sand Legendres equations. The examples at the ends of the sections have been derived from various sources, and not a few prepared expressly for this work. They are arranged in order of difficulty, and the solutions are given. These have been verified in the proof-sheets, so that it is believed that they will be found free from errors. The ordinary references in the text are to Rice and Johnsons Biff. Calc, and Johnsons Int. Calc., published by John Wiley and Sons uniformly with the present volume. W.W. J.U. S.Naval Academy, May, 1889.
