Talk:Frobenius solution to the hypergeometric equation

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thanks for your advice, I included an introduction in which I describe the differential equation, why it is useful to solve it, and what I will be doing.

I hope this meets your criteria. It should be noted that this article is mainly for mathematicians. But I object deleting it as it contains much useful information. And I did include an introduction for the "casual reader".

[edit] Moved to Wikibooks

This page was moved to Wikibooks:Frobenius solution to the hypergeometric equation. I think it is better to keep the work there and delete this page under WP:SD#A5. Carlosguitar (ready and willing) 08:08, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

The transwiki'd version omits the partial reformatting we have made here, though. If it does get deleted, that had better be moved first. Ryan Reich (talk) 19:13, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
Note also that PlanetMath might be a good place for this. They like all-tex markup, and have a policy that explicitly allows proofs such as this. linas (talk) 02:36, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] The reference

  • Dr Sayed Abed. Ordinary Differntial Equations.

is not specified (or spelt correctly) or sufficiently canonical. Better references are needed. Xxanthippe (talk) 08:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC).

I know, the idea is that the book was published in my university, so that it doesn't have an ISBN...etc. I just checked the method of Frobenius there, so maybe I can find another reference. --MostafaSabry (talk) 09:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

? Are you sure? As a teen, I worked for a tiny publisher who was always careful to get ISBN's for their books, it's hard to believe a university press wouldn't take such a simple step. linas (talk) 02:34, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Finished conversion

The article has now been completely converted to standard Wiki markup; in some places, the LaTeX is still bad, but the article is now editable. I suggest that the Wikibooks version be replaced with this one, and that some decision as to the fate of this article be made. I don't see how it can be made encyclopedic, but it can probably be pointed to from hypergeometric equation and Frobenius series. Ryan Reich (talk) 19:26, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I did the replacement myself. I have no idea how things work at Wikibooks, but the text is there now. Ryan Reich (talk) 20:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
