== Origin ==
The method was accidentally discovered by [[Newton North High School]] senior student Abby Aspel in 1980. In a lab assignment simulating orbits using Kepler's Law, which required computation in [[BASIC]]: she accidentally reversed two lines of code by calculating velocity before position. Her simulation converged more quickly and resulted in more accurate and feasible results than what was expected. Alan Cromer then proved why her algorithm was more stable than previous methods of computation.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Cromer |first=Alan |date=1981-05-01 |title=Stable solutions using the Euler approximation |url=https://doi.org/10.1119/1.12478 |journal=American Journal of Physics |volume=49 |issue=5 |pages=455–459 |doi=10.1119/1.12478 |issn=0002-9505}}</ref>
