The results are calculated in terms of convergent series with easily computable components. The suggested technique is applied without any discretization, perturbation, transformation, and restrictive assumptions. Moreover, it is free from round off errors. Some examples are given to illustrate the implementation and efficiency of the modified variation of parameters method. 1. Introduction In recent years, much attention has been given to solve system of third-order boundary value problems, see 1–11. In this paper, we consider the following systems of third-order nonlinear boundary value problems: ⎧ ⎪
