Abstract
Hybrid Stomer Cowell method was developed using the method of interpolation of
the appropriate solution and collocation of the differential system. The method is
implemented in predictor-corrector method in which Adams Bash method is developed to
provide a non-reducing order predictor. Basic properties of the method were investigated
and were found to be consistent, zero stable and converges. The efficiency of the method
was tested on first order problems and was found to compare favourably with the existing
methods.
Keywords: Interpolation, Approximate Solution, Collocation, Differential system,

Introduction
This paper considers the numerical solution of first order initial value problem of the form:
( ) ( )
0 0
, y x y y x, f y = = ′ (1)
where f is a given real valued function which is continuous within the interval of integration. We
assumed that f satisfied Lipstichz condition that guaranteed the existence and the uniqueness of the
solution to (1).
Many scholars have developed linear multistep method for the solution of (1). They developed
methods varying from discrete linear multistep method to continuous linear multistep method.
According to Awoyemi (1992), continuous linear multistep method has greater advantages over the
discrete method in that they give better error estimation, provide a simplified for of coefficient for
