I tried to solve the following third order nonlinear ode using NDSolve in Mathematica: (y'[x])^2 + y[x]*y''[x] + 10* y'''[x] == 10 with boundary/initial conditions y[0] == 0, y'[0] == 0, y'[10] == 1. However, Mathematica says: NDSolve::"pcnan": "Coefficients of the differential equation are not numbers \ or only one linear nth order ordinary differential equation can be solved." Can you help me please? Thanks, Jay
