This article reports the flow of a Casson fluid in the region of stagnation-point towards a stretching sheet. The characteristics of heat transfer with viscous dissipation are also analyzed. The partial differential equations representing the flow and heat transfer of the Casson fluid are reduced to ordinary differential equations through suitable transformations. The flow is therefore governed by the Casson fluid parameter β, the ratio of the free stream velocity to the velocity of the stretching sheet a=c, the Prandtl number Pr, and the Eckert number Ec. The analytic solutions in the whole spatial domain have been computed by the homotopy analysis method (HAM). The dimensionless expressions for the skin friction coefficient and the local Nusselt number have been calculated and discussed.
