Ordinary Di erential Equations (ODEs) of the Initial Value Problem
(IVP) or Boundary Value Problem (BVP) type can model phenomena
in wide range of elds including science, engineering, economics, social
science, biology, business, health care among others. Often, systems
described by di erential equations are so complex that purely analytical
solutions of the equations are not tractable. Therefore techniques for
solving di erential equations based on numerical approximations take
centre stage. In this paper we review the shooting method technique as
a method of solution to both linear and non-linear BVPs.
