In this study, three-dimensional differential transform method has been introduced and fundamental theorems have been defined for the first time. Moreover, as an application of two and three-dimensional differential transform, exact solutions of linear and non-linear systems of partial differential equations have been investigated. The results of the present method are compared very well with those obtained by decomposition method. Differential transform method can easily be applied to linear or nonlinear problems and reduces the size of computational work. With this method exact solutions may be obtained without any need of cumbersome work and it is an useful tool for analytical and numerical solutions. (C) 2003 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
