The main purpose of this paper is to solve the second kind Volterra integral equations by Clenshaw-Curtis spectral collocation method. First of all, we can transform the integral interval from [-1, x] to [-1, 1] through a simple linear transformation, and discretize the integral term in the equation by Clenshaw-Curtis quadrature formula to obtain the collocation equations. Then we provide a rigorous error analysis for the proposed method. At last, several numerical example are used to verify the results of theoretical analysis.
