Abstract: In this paper, Taylor series based on which is the Differential Transform Method (DTM) is
applied to solve various forms of nonlinear Klein-Gordon type equations. The application of differential
transform method is extended to derive approximate analytical solutions of nonlinear Klein-Gordon type
equations. The solutions of our mo del equations are calculated in the form of convergent series with easily
computable components. Some examples are solved as illustrations, using symbolic computation. The
results show that the approach is easy to implement and accurate when applied to these type equations. The
method introduces a promising tool for solving many linear and nonlinear differential equations.
