This research aims to use the shooting method (SM) to find numerical solutions to the boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). Applied mathematics, theoretical physics, engineering, control, and optimization theory all have two-point boundary value problems. If the two-point boundary value problem cannot be solved analytically, numerical approaches must be used. The scenario in the two-point boundary value issue for a single second-order differential equation with prescribed initial and final values of the solution gives rise to shooting method. Firstly, the method is discussed, and some boundary value problems of ODEs are solved by using the proposed method. Obtained results are compared with the exact solution for the validation of the proposed method and represented both in graphical and tabular form. It has been found that the convergence rate of the shooting method to the exact solution is so high. As a finding of this research, it has been determined that the shooting method produces the best-fit numerical results of boundary value problems.
