n the present paper, a Lie-group integrator, based on GL(4,R) has been newly constructed to consider the flow characteristics in an electrically conducting second grade fluid over a stretching sheet. Present method which have a very fast convergence, permits us to explore some missing initial values at the left-end. Accurate initial values can be achieved when the determined target equation is valid, and then we can apply the group preserving scheme (GPS) as a geometric approach to obtain a rather accurate numerical solution. Finally, effects of magnetic parameter, viscoelastic parameter, stagnation point flow and stretching of the sheet parameters are illustrated.
