// Class description:
//
// The Cash-Karp Runge-Kutta-Fehlberg 4/5 method is an embedded fourth
// order method (giving fifth-order accuracy) for the solution of an ODE.
// Two different fourth order estimates are calculated; their difference
// gives an error estimate. [ref. Numerical Recipes in C, 2nd Edition]
// It is used to integrate the equations of the motion of a particle 
// in a magnetic field.

// History:
// - Created. J.Apostolakis, V.Grichine - 30.1.97
