Beeman's algorithm

Beeman's algorithm is a way of predicting how something will move. It is often used in science and computer simulations.

Imagine you have a toy car that you can push around. If you push it really hard, it will go faster, but if you push it lightly, it will go slower. Now, let's say you want to know how that toy car will move over time.

Beeman's algorithm helps you figure that out. Instead of just looking at the toy car right now, it looks at how it has been moving and how much force has been acting on it. Then, it makes a prediction about where the toy car will be in the next moment based on that information.

But just making a prediction isn't enough. We need to make sure our prediction is pretty close to what will really happen. So, Beeman's algorithm goes one step further and makes a correction to the prediction. This means that it changes its prediction slightly to make it more accurate.

That's Beeman's algorithm in a nutshell! It's a fancy way of making predictions about how things will move, and then correcting those predictions to make them more accurate.
