All the theories and methods proposed in this paper are my original innovations. On the basis of the new mathematical expansion I proposed in 2014, this paper presents a general method for solving linear ordinary differential equations. Different from traditional known methods, this paper deals with a completely new method for solving linear ordinary differential equations. It is concluded that, under some conditions which easily be satisfied in practical applications, any order of linear ordinary differential equations can be solved by the method of recursion and reduction of order step by step.
