Abstract:

t Solving the famous Hermite, Legendre, Laguerre and Chebyshev equations
requires different techniques of unique character for each equation. By reducing these
differential equations of second order to a common solvable differential equation of first
order, a simple common solution is provided to cover all the existing standard solutions
of these named equations. It is easier than the method of generating functions and more
powerful than the Frobenius method of power series.

Key words: Second order differential equations, quantum mechanics, common solution
