DSolve[a - x*y[x] + (1 - x^2)*y'[x] == 0,y[x],x]
Mathematica raw output
{{y[x] -> (2*C[1] - a*Log[1 - x/Sqrt[-1 + x^2]] + a*Log[1 + x/Sqrt[-1 + x^2]])/(2*Sqrt[-1 + x^2])}}
Maple raw input
dsolve((-x^2+1)*diff(y(x),x)+a-x*y(x) = 0, y(x))
Maple raw output
[y(x) = 1/(x-1)/(1+x)*a*((x-1)*(1+x))^(1/2)*ln(x+(x^2-1)^(1/2))+1/(x-1)^(1/2)/(1+x)^(1/2)*_C1]
