%X The objective of this study is to carry out a numerical investigation of the MHD plane stagnation flow of a temperature dependent viscosity fluid. The system of governing partial differential equations was transformed into a system of coupled nonlinear ordinary differential equations by the method of similarity transformations. These resulting equations were then solved using the classical fourth order Runge-Kutta method together with shooting techniques. The effects of the relevant thermo-physical parameters on the flow profile were investigated. The skin friction coefficient and Nusselt numbers were also determined numerically and tabulated.
