 This notebook demonstrates the Orszag-tau (a modification of the Galerkin) spectral method for a simple ODE and an ODE eigenvalue problem. It is intended as a first introduction to solving these problems with a spectral numerical method. Reference: S. A. Orszag (1971) "Accurate solution of the Orr-Sommerfeld stability equation", Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 50 pp 689-703. The coefficients of the algebraic equations are computed directly from the orthogonality properties of the Chebyshev polynomials using orthogonality. Reference: R. Miesen and B. J. Boersma (1995) "Hydrodynamic stability of a sheared liquid film", Journal of Fluid Mechanics, 301 pp 175-202.
