Abstract

In this paper, we consider the numerical solution of an ordinary differential equation problem with given boundary conditions. In approaching this we used the fixed point iterative method called the Runge Kutta method. This was exactly applied on the Blasius problem which model was formulated and solved iteratively using the FORTRAN programming language software that generated the solution in the last section of this work. The convergence of the solution was seen established.
