This paper is concerned with the numerical solution for a class of weakly singular Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. The Taylor series of the unknown function, is used to remove the singularity and the truncated Taylor series to second order of k(x, y) about the point (x0, y0) is used. The integrals that appear in this method are computed exactly and some of these integrals are computed with the Cauchy principal value without using numerical quadratures. The solution in the Legendre polynomial form generates a system of linear algebraic equations, this system is solved numerically. Through numerical examples, performance of the present meth
