public interface FirstOrderDifferentialEquations
This interface should be implemented by all real first order
 differential equation problems before they can be handled by the
 integrators FirstOrderIntegrator.integrate(org.apache.commons.math3.ode.FirstOrderDifferentialEquations, double, double[], double, double[]) method.
A first order differential equations problem, as seen by an
 integrator is the time derivative dY/dt of a state
 vector Y, both being one dimensional arrays. From the
 integrator point of view, this derivative depends only on the
 current time t and on the state vector
 Y.
For real problems, the derivative depends also on parameters that do not belong to the state vector (dynamical model constants for example). These constants are completely outside of the scope of this interface, the classes that implement it are allowed to handle them as they want.
