abstract: Korteweg de Vries (KdV) equation has been used as a mathematical model of shallow water 
waves. In this paper, we present one-, two-, and three-soliton solution of KdV equation. By 
definition, soliton is a nonlinear wave that maintains its properties (shape and velocity) upon 
interaction with each other. In order to investigate the behavior of soliton solutions of KdV 
equation and the interaction process of the two- and three-solitons, computer programs have been 
successfully simulated. Results from these simulations confirm that the solutions of KdV equation 
obtained are the soliton solutions. (Abstract by authors)
