The first method can be regarded as an improvement to a series solution of Blasius by means of Padè approximation. The second method is a famous type of weighted residual technique which is called Galerkin method after the famous Russian engineer and mathematician Boris Galerkin. The last method is a simple discrete, numerical technique. Additionally, in order to show the power of the last method, the Thomas-Fermi problem is solved using the same technique. Results obtained by all three methods are highly accurate in comparison with the Howarth’s solution and Bender’s solution. <br> </p>}, number={3}, publisher={Balıkesir Üniversitesi}
