This paper is concerned with obtaining a simple numerical algorithm for solving fractional order integro-differential equations of Volterra type, the kernel being regular or weakly singular, where the fractional derivative is defined in Caputo sense. The properties of Bernstein polynomials are utilized to reduce the fractional order integro-differential equations to the solutions of algebraic equations, which are solved by an appropriate method after collocation. Some numerical examples are given to illustrate the method. It is found that the results obtained by the present method compares favorably with the exact results.
