In this study, solitary wave solutions were obtained by using polynomial function method for some cases in the 6th order nonlinear modified Boussinesq equation. The difference of this study from the other studies in the literature is that the Boussinesq equation and its analogues, which had been studied so far, had non-linearity in the terms having derivatives with respect to the space variables. However, in this study, the non-linearity is found in the time-derivative terms of the analogues of the Boussinesq equation.
