An analytical approach based on the compatibility concept is employed to solve a nonlinear reaction–diffusion model arising in mathematical biology. The solution process makes it extremely easy to obtain a relatively accurate closed-form solution of the model. The pencil-and-paper solution procedure can be extended to other class of nonlinear problems of similar kind. Keywords: Compatibility approach, Reaction–diffusion equation, Exact solvability
