In this paper the momentum and heat transfer characteristics for a self-similarity boundary layer on exponentially stretching surface modeled by a system of nonlinear differential equations is studied. The system is solved using the Homotopy Analysis Method (HAM), which yields an analytic solution in the form of a rapidly convergent infinite series with easily computable terms. Homotopy analysis method contains the auxiliary parameter R, which provides us with a simple way to adjust and control the convergence region of solution series. By suitable choice of the auxiliary parameter R, reasonable solutions for large modulus can be obtained.
