description Electrodynamics have innumerable applications, one of which is to locate embedded object, for example in a human body using electromagnetic scattering. The wireless telecommunication is all about the radiation of electromagnetic waves, and the optical waveguide transmits signals at the speed of light. The aspiration of this work is to introduce the vertex-based residual distribution(RD) schemes for Maxwell’s equations, which is time-explicit and still secondorder-accurate.
