In this article, Exp-function method is used to obtain an exact solution of the equal-width wave-Burgers equation (EW-Burgers). The method is straightforward and concise, and its applications are promising. It is shown that Exp-function method, with the help of symbolic computation, provides a very effective and powerful mathematical tool for solving EW-Burgers equation. (C) 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
