Misc Math / lecture 30

Hi,
I tried solving the Euler ODE (3) in the lecture 30 notes, but by plugging in P:=Ïm as usual I obtained λ=m(m+1) from the characteristic equation not λ=l(lm+1) as is given in the notes. I was wondering where this l comes from? Also, in equation (5) m=1 is chosen. Why?
Thank you!
