Abstract
There are many applications of physics where it is necessary to solve Maxwell’s Equations for a wave interacting with or scattering from various objects. This problem is usually impossible to solve analytically, but several cases have been solved using numerical methods. Unfortunately some cases still cannot be solved within the desired accuracy. Designers of many important applications like high frequency circuits and high-gain antennas need to use a lot of guesswork in order to produce correctly functioning devices. Our research as been aimed at implementing a new method which will permit practical numerical solutions to these problems with the desired accuracy.
