In this paper, the homotopy Pade technique is presented as an alternative method to derive the analytical solution for nonlinear dynamical system. Illustrative example is used to show the validity and accuracy of the method in solving the nonlinear system. Comparisons are conducted between the analytical approximation and numerical solution. The results obtained here demonstrate that the homotopy Pade approximate is an effective and robust technique for nonlinear dynamical systems.
