Hello,
here is for the background : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lane-Emden_equation
and indeed checking for n=1 that sin(x)/x is a solution :
In [16]: diff(sin(x)/x, x,2)+2/x*diff(sin(x)/x,x)+sin(x)/x
works like a charm.

But:
In [14]: dsolve(f(x).diff(x, x)+2/x*f(x).diff(x)+f(x),f(x))
Out[14]:
C₁⋅sin(x sqrt(3)) + C₂⋅cos(x⋅sqrt(3) )
Obviously I am doing something wrong...

Thanks for your help. I just downloaded sympy using git, so I have
In [3]: sympy.__version__
Out[3]: '0.6.4.beta1'

best, and kudos for the great package,
Johann
