Abstract

In this study, two numerical methods were used to obtain a numerical solution of higher order
ordinary differential equations. The two methods are the existing Runge Kutta method and
Adam-Bashforth Moulton predictor corrector methods which have been modified to
accommodate the general nth order ordinary differential equations. Four higher order
differential equation problems were solved and the results obtained were consistent with when
compared with the exact solution.
