This paper is concerned with the construction of a class of polynomial orthogonal with respect to the weight function w(x)=1-x2 over the interval [0,1]. The zeros of these polynomials were employed as points of collocation for the orthogonal collocation technique in the solution of integral equations. The method is illustrated with some numerical examples and the results obtained show that the method is effective.
