Abstract

We use Wang`s transformation of the Blasius problem to find a numerical sequence for the approximate values of the second derivative at the origin. An application of the Pade approximation produces improved values up to a certain point and the method fails beyond this point. This Implies that a polynomial with sufficiently large number or terms may not be accurately represented by its Pade’ approximation.
