Abstract
The subject of this investigation is to obtain the numerical value of the velocity gradient at the wall by integrating the boundary layer equation for flow past wedges with different wedge angles. The approach to the above problem is to use generalized Gauss's quadrature from first to fifth order successively. The application of this quadrature formula was recommended by William Squire.
