Central Force Integrator

Radial Force Equation: f(r) = (Arm + Brn)
where the vector force is F(r)= -Kf(r)r̂ with K constant.

f(r) = r + r

Initial Conditions:
  r =   θ = 0
Vr = Vθ =
Approximate Number of Orbits:

An Animated Central Force Integrator once existed. Written in java, so now deprecated. :(
