In this post, Josh provides a bit of advice on how to choose which ODE solver to use. Over to you, Josh...... read more >>

Arithmetic Associativity – Not So Fast 7

Arithmetic is associative, right? Well, in the world of paper and pencil, where you can often do calculations exactly, that can be true.
