In developing the solution, collocation approximation method was adopted using the shifted Legendre polynomial as basis function. A block method approach is preferred to the predictor corrector method for being self-starting. Experimental results confirmed that the Simpson’s 3/8 rule is more efficient than the Simpson’s 1/3 rule. }, journal = {International Journal of Mathematical and Computational Sciences}, volume = {13}, number = {5}, year = {2019}, pages = {136 - 140}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10010375}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/149}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 149, 2019}, }
