      The nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equation \[ y''+q(t)f(y(t))=0,\quad -\infty <a<t<b<\infty, \] with Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions is investigated. Sturm's comparison theorem and the Kolodner-Coffman method are used to establish conditions on q(t) and f(y) for uniqueness and existence of solutions. The results are applied to the classical Emden-Fowler equation. Finally the application of the algebra manipulation program MAPLE to the calculations is indicated.
