Received: 19 December 2019
Accepted: 14 March 2020
Exact analytic solutions of a nonlinear boson diffusion equation with suitable initial conditions that account for evaporative cooling of ultracold atoms, plus boundary conditions at the singularity 
are presented, and used to calculate the time-dependent entropy of a cold quantum gas.
