In this paper, we introduce an efficient method for solving the quadratic Riccati differential equation. In this technique, combination of Laplace trans-form and new homotopy perturbation methods (LTNHPM) are considered as an algorithm to the exact solution of the nonlinear Riccati equation. Un-like the previous approach for this problem, so-called NHPM, the present method, does not need the initial approximation to be defined as a power series. Four examples in different cases are given to demonstrate simplicity and efficiency of the proposed method.
