The steady, boundary layer flow and heat transfer on a stretching surface in rotating fluid has been examined. Using suitable similarity transformations, the partial differential equations governing the flow and heat transfer phenomenon convert to a system of non-linear ordinary differential equations. The obtained equations are solved by using the shooting technique with fifth order Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg method. The parameters involving in the problem are Casson fluid parameter beta, non-dimensional parameter lambda that signifies the importance of rotation rate to stretching rate and Prandtl number P-r. The effects of these parameters on physical quantities such as velocity and temperature profiles, skin frictions and Nusselt number are inspected with the aid of graphs and tables.
