===Schwarzschild (1941)=== We can directly compare our results with [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1941ApJ....94..245S Schwarzschild's (1941)] published work on "Overtone Pulsations for the Standard [Stellar] Model." To begin with, it is straightforward to demonstrate that the last form of the LAWE, provided above, matches equation (2) from [[SSC/Perturbations#Schwarzschild_.281941.29|Schwarzschild (1941)]], if <math>~n</math> is set to 3 — see the boxed-in excerpt, immediately below. Note as well that Schwarzschild's dimensionless oscillation frequency — defined in his equation (1) and which we will label, <math>~\omega_\mathrm{Sch}</math> — is related to our dimensionless frequency via the expression, <div align="center"> <table border="0" cellpadding="5" align="center"> <tr> <td align="right"> <math>~\sigma_c^2</math> </td> <td align="center"> <math>~~\leftrightarrow~~</math> </td> <td align="left"> <math>~\biggl( \frac{3\gamma_g}{2} \biggr) \omega_\mathrm{Sch}^2 \, .</math> </td> </tr> </table> </div> [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1941ApJ....94..245S Schwarzschild (1941)] numerically integrated the LAWE for <math>~n=3</math> polytropic spheres to find eigenvectors (''i.e.,'' the spatially discrete eigenfunction and corresponding eigenfrequency) for five separate oscillation modes (the fundamental mode, plus the 1<sup>st</sup>, 2<sup>nd</sup>, 3<sup>rd</sup>, and 4<sup>th</sup> overtones) for models having four different adopted adiabatic indexes <math>~\gamma_g = \tfrac{4}{3}, \tfrac{10}{7}, \tfrac{20}{13}, \tfrac{5}{3})</math>. <div align="center"> <table border="1" cellpadding="5"> <tr><td align="center"> Paragraph extracted from [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1941ApJ....94..245S M.
