ABSTRACT: This paper presents a Modified Power Series Method (MPSM) for the solution of delay differential equations. Unlike the traditional power series method which is applied to solve only linear differential equations, this new approach is applicable to both linear and nonlinear problems. The method produces a system of algebraic equations which is solved to determine the coefficients in the trial solution. The method provides the solution in form of a rapid convergent series. The obtained results for numerical examples demonstrate the reliability and efficiency of the method.
