Examples For Second Order Differential Equations
In this case the equation above is reduced to:
One distinguishes the following cases:
- Point a is an ordinary point when functions p1(x) and p0(x) are analytic at x = a.
- Point a is a regular singular point if p1(x) has a pole up to order 1 at x = a and p0 has a pole of order up to 2 at x = a.
- Otherwise point a is an irregular singular point.
Listed below are several examples from ordinary differential equations from mathematical physics that have singular points and known solutions.

Famous quotes containing the words examples, order and/or differential:
“There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.”
—Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)
“To write is to make oneself the echo of what cannot cease speaking—and since it cannot, in order to become its echo I have, in a way, to silence it. I bring to this incessant speech the decisiveness, the authority of my own silence.”
—Maurice Blanchot (b. 1907)
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
