The present article investigates the inclined magnetic field effects on slip flow of Casson fluid over a stretching sheet. The governing boundary layer non-linear PDEs are converted into non-linear ODEs using similarity transformation. The analytical solutions for the present problem are obtained in terms of confluent hypergeometric function. The effects of various non-dimensional parameters onvelocity, temperature, skin friction and Nusselt number are discussed in detail through plots.
