	%X A steady two-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics
flow and heat transfer over a stretching vertical sheet influenced by
radiation and porosity is studied. The governing boundary layer
equations of partial differential equations are reduced to a system of
ordinary differential equations using similarity transformation. The
system is solved numerically by using a finite difference scheme
known as the Keller-box method for some values of parameters,
namely the radiation parameter N, magnetic parameter M, buoyancy
parameter l , Prandtl number Pr and permeability parameter K. The
effects of the parameters on the heat transfer characteristics are
analyzed and discussed. It is found that both the skin friction
coefficient and the local Nusselt number decrease as the magnetic
parameter M and permeability parameter K increase. Heat transfer
rate at the surface decreases as the radiation parameter increases.
