In this paper we study the solution of a linear and nonlinear damped wave and dissipative wave equations by Adomian decomposition method. We illustrate that the analytic solutions and a reliable numerical approximation of the damped wave and dissipative wave equations are calculated in the form of a series with easily computable components. The nonhomogeneous problem is quickly solved by observing the self-canceling 'noise' terms whose sum vanishes in the limit. In comparison to traditional techniques, the series based technique of Adomian decomposition method is shown to evaluate solutions accurately and cheaply.
