31 // Class description:
32 //
33 // Abstract base class for integrator of particle's equation of motion,
34 // used in tracking in space dependent magnetic field
35 //
36 // A Stepper must integrate over NumberOfVariables elements,
37 // and also copy (from input to output) any of NoStateVariables
38 // not included in the NumberOfVariables.
39 //
40 // So it is expected that NoStateVariables >= NumberOfVariables
