In this paper,nonlinear differential equations are solved through Adomian decomposition method(ADM) and the results are compared with those of Picard iterations method. It is noted that ADM takes the form of a convergent series with easily computable components. The ADM method is able to solve large class of nonlinear equations effectively, more easily and accurately; and thus the method has been widely applicable to solve any class of equations in sciences and engineering.
