i want to solve the 2nd order ODE y''=0.8y'arctan(x)+xy    -2<x<1

the maple code used is:

>maplesol := dsolve({ (D(D(y)))(x) =0.8*arctan(x)*(D(y))(x)+x*y(x),y(-2)=1.3,D(y)(-2)=0.7});

and maple only gives out maplesol:=

 

I think its something to do with the arctan(x) because when i remove it, i get an answer.
