From Fox Presentation Fall 1995 CPS615 Basic Simulation Track for Computational Science -- 1998 Enhancements. by Geoffrey C. Fox
Use the derivative at one time step to extrapolate the midpoint value - use midpoint derivative to extrapolate the function value at the next time step
Evaluates the derivative function twice at each time step. Global error - O(h2), second order method
Sometimes called the midpoint method
