　　In this talk, we address the finite element method and discontinuous Galerkin method for the stochastic Helmholtz equation in R^d (d=2,3), and numerical method for stochastic Maxwell equations in dispersive media driven by color noise. Convergence analysis and error estimates are presented for the numerical solutions. The effects of the noises on the accuracy of the approximations are illustrated. Results of the numerical experiments are provided to demonstrate our theoretical analysis.
