Description

Building up to a full tutorial on HMC we need to explain what symplectic integrators are and why we use them for HMC

- Why we use them, comparison with naive integrators
- Properties
- Influence of the step size
- Influence of the trajectory length
- Palindromic integrators

Use the integrators implemented in `/mcmc/integrators.py` to illustrate.
