In this letter,the Kaup-Kupershmidt, (2+1)-dimensional Potential Kadomtsev-Petviashvili (shortly PKP) equations are presented and the Exp-function method is employed to compute an approximation to the solution of nonlinear differential equations governing the problem. It has been attempted to show the capabilities and wide-range applications of the Exp-function method. This method can be used as an alternative to obtain analytic and approximate solution of different types of differential equations applied in engineering mathematics. (C) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
