(A superscriptkin parentheses meanskth derivative.) The right-hand
side looks like the binomial theorem. In the case at hand, at most two
terms are not zero.11.bn=

- The solution is as given in Eq. (5) with coefficients as shown in Eq. (7).
The integration yields (see Section 5.9)

γ^2 R^2 ,nis odd, andbnis as at the end of Part B, withT 0 =T.- The eigenfunctions are as in Part C, except thatnmust be odd in order to
satisfy the boundary condition. - The nodal surfaces are: a sphere atρ= 0 .634 and two naps of a cone given
byφ= 0. 304 πandρ= 0. 696 π.
