We study magnetohydrodynamic radiation-convection flow through a porous medium with mass transfer in the presence of a homogeneous first order chemical reaction and surface temperature oscillation. The governing equations are solved analytically using perturbation technique. Detailed computations of the influence of Hartmann number, frequency of the oscillation, radiation parameter, Prandtl number, Chemical reaction parameter, Grashof number, mass Grashof number and Schmidt number are discussed.
