Numbered equations

Hi Daniel,

I had to transform the templates provided in the WP article for numbered equations into plain old wikimarkup. I attempted to bring these templates over from WP, but they called many other templates and when I got them all over, the combined result didn't work. I decided to use a simple bit of html that defined a span with right justification and also defined an anchor. To reference the equation you then only need to insert a mediawiki markup referencing the anchor. It wouldn't be hard to turn this all into two templates if you think that would be useful.

Bessel equation in S-L form

Is the Bessel equation in S-L form correct? I don't see where the xy' term has gone. Clearly everything was divided by x, and the first term (after division by x) XY'' becomes (xy')'. Shouldn't (xy'' + y') become (xy' + y)' ? David E. Volk 13:21, 6 October 2009 (UTC)
