sympletic, reversible time-discretization of Newton's equations of motion


Originally discovered already by Newton: Essentially a symmetric (and symplectic!) combination of Euler forward and backward methods.


Defining Formula: q(t+τ)=2q(t)q(tτ)+τ2F(q(t))/M
F symbol represents Classical Force
τ symbol represents Time Step
