Description

Check if there are errors in the computation of acceleration:

  1. Is delta_t correctly implemented? (2n or 1n) Check in comparison with documentation.
  2. Is delta_t only calculated from the current frame to the future or also to the past?
  3. Also check why the formula is not shown correctly in readthedocs
