Abstract
Elementary numerical methods of integrating an equation of motion are systematically compared, both theoretically and experimentally. It is shown that the half-step approximation and the closely related second-order Taylor approximation are far superior to the other elementary methods, in particular, the various Euler approximations. The idea of a variable stepping interval is discussed and is shown to be highly advantageous when used with the second Taylor approximation.
