This paper provides an analysis of the effects of a uniform transverse magnetic field and porosity on the boundary layer flow of a homogeneous incompressible fluid of the second grade past a wedge placed symmetrically with respect to the flow direction. The variation of the skin friction with respect to porosity and magnetic field parameters are discussed. Also the first order velocities of the fluid are given graphically.
