y''−2xy' + λy = 0, −∞ < x < ∞ where λ is a constant, is known as the Hermite equation, named after the famous mathematician Charles Hermite. This equation is an important equation in mathematical physics.

• Find the first four terms in each of two solutions about x = 0 and show that they form a fundamental set of solutions

• Observe that if λ is a nonnegative even integer, then one or the other of the series solutions terminates and becomes a polynomial. Find the polynomial solutions for λ = 0,2,4,6,8,10. Note that each polynomial is determined only up to a multiplicative constant.

• The Hermite polynomial, Hn(x), is defined as the polynomial solution of the Hermite equation with λ = 2n for which the coefficient of xn is 2n. Find H0(x),...,H5(x).

• Give some plots of these polynomials
