This paper is concerned with constructing polynomial solutions to ordinary boundary value problems. A semi-analytic technique using two-point Hermite interpolation is compared with conventional methods via a series of examples and is shown to be generally superior, particularly for problems involving nonlinear equations and/or boundary conditions.
