In mathematics, the '''semi–implicit Euler''' method, also called '''semi–explicitsymplectic Euler''', '''Euler–Cromersemi–explicit Euler''', '''Newton–Stormer–Verlet (NSV)Euler–Cromer''', and '''symplecticNewton–Stormer–Verlet Euler(NSV)''', is a modification of the [[Euler integration|Euler method]] for solving [[Hamilton's equations]], a system of [[ordinary differential equation]]s that arises in [[classical mechanics]]. It is a [[symplectic integrator]] and hence it yields better results than the standard Euler method.
