In this paper, we mainly study the numerical solution of linear fifth order boundary value problems by using cubic B-splines. Our algorithm develops not only the cubic spline approximation solution but also the approximation derivatives of first order to fourth order of the analytic solution at the same time. This new method has lower computational cost than many other methods and is second order convergent. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of our method.
