Abstract :
We show that the equations of electromagnetism can be directly obtained in a finite form, i.e., discrete, thus avoiding the traditional discretization methods of Maxwell´s differential equations. The finite formulation can be used with unstructured meshes in two and three dimensions and easily permits to obtain fourth-order convergence
