Error term: can not be the same for pos and velocity
Line 11:
== Error term ==
The first source says the error term on velocity is O(dt^4), whereas the other two sources claim O(dt^3). The best step is to probably find Beeman's original paper on the algorithm and be certain one way or another. --[[User:Numsgil|Numsgil]] 13:02, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 
*The errors of derivative are almost universally one order worse than the errors of the main value. So I will be surprised if the order would be dt^4 for both position and velocity. I took the liberty to edit the formula, it would be still worth to find the original paper anyway [[User:Alex Bakharev|abakharev]] 16:34, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
