DSolve[a*Cos[x]^2*y[x] + Tan[x]*y'[x] + y''[x] == 0,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> C[1]*Cos[Sqrt[a]*Sin[x]] + C[2]*Sin[Sqrt[a]*Sin[x]]}}
Maple raw input
dsolve(diff(diff(y(x),x),x)+diff(y(x),x)*tan(x)+a*y(x)*cos(x)^2 = 0, y(x))
Maple raw output
[y(x) = _C1*sin(a^(1/2)*sin(x))+_C2*cos(a^(1/2)*sin(x))]
