In a recent technical note, Squire discussed the approximate solution of certain second-order linear differential equations by the method attributed variously to Riccati, Madelung, Wentzel, Kramers and Brillouin (the W.K.B. method), and others. The problem of eigenvalues, frequently met with in this type of equation, does not, however, appear to have received much attention by this method, and in this note a simple formula is developed which appears to give excellent numerical results in many cases.
