29 // Helix a-la-Explicity Euler: x_1 = x_0 + helix(h)
30 // with helix(h) being a helix piece of length h
31 // simplest approach for solving linear differential equations.
32 // Take the current derivative and add it to the current position.
33 //
34 // As the field is assumed constant, an error is not calculated.
