Formula(s) and Quantity(-ies)

$\begin{array}{ccc}p(t+\tau /2)& =& p(t)+\tau F(q(t))/2\\ q(t+\tau )& =& q(t)+\tau p(t+\tau /2)/m\\ p(t+\tau )& =& p(t+\tau /2)+\tau F(q(t+\tau ))/2\end{array}$

$F$ represents force acting on a particle

$\tau$ represents time step

$m$ represents mass

$p$ represents particle momentum

$q$ represents particle position

$t$ represents time
