The necessity of accurate numerical approximations to the solutions of differential equations governing physical systems has always been an important problem with scientists and engineers. Hammer and Hollingsworth [11] have used Gaussian quadrature for solving the linear second order differential equations. This method has been further developed by Morrison and Stoller [3], Korganoff [1], Kuntzman [9], Henrici [12] and Day [7, 8]. Quadrature methods based upon Lobatto quadrature formulae have recently been considered by Day [6, 8] and Jain and Sharma [10] and seem to give better results.
