The acronym MAFIA stands for the solution of Maxwell's equations by the Finite Integration Algorithm and is the name give to a set of codes intended for use in the computer-aided design of three-dimensional magnets, rf structures, and structures in which wake-field effects are important. This paper gives a brief description of the algorithms employed in both the time- and the frequency- domain solvers of the MAFIA collection of codes. Examples of typical accelerator calculations will be presented. 9 refs., 6 figs.
