Editing Velocity Verlet algorithm

The '''Velocity Verlet algorithm''', for use in [[molecular dynamics]], is given by <ref>[http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRev.159.98 Loup Verlet "Computer "Experiments" on Classical Fluids. I. Thermodynamical Properties of Lennard-Jones Molecules", Physical Review '''159''' pp. 98-103 (1967)]</ref>:

:<math>r(t + \delta t) = r (t) + \delta t v(t) + \frac{1}{2} \delta t^2 a(t)</math>

:<math>v \left(t+  \delta t\right) = v(t) + \frac{1}{2} \delta t [ a(t) + a(t+\delta t)]</math>

where <math>r</math> is the position, <math>v</math> is the velocity, <math>a</math> is the acceleration and <math>t</math> is the time. <math>\delta t</math> is known as the [[time step]].
