Hi,

I am trying to solve a third order differential eqn in mathematica.
DSolve[{1/30 f'''[x] - f[x] (2 a^3/(1 - x a)^3 + 1/(1 - x)^3) - 24 a/
(1 - y) (1/(1 - x)^7 - a^5/(1 - ax)^7) == 0, f[0] == 0,
   f''[0] == 0}, f[x], x]
 I am running this eqn for last 1 hour :/ why does Mathematica take so
much time?

Will Mathematica able to solve this eqn?


Thanks
Amitesh
