The first time I wrote that program was in FORTRAN in 1972.
I think I even wrote it in COBOL once. (don't ask)
Always made me shrarpen up my trig!

Well I'm doing orbit predictions. Normally that involves differential
equations which I am solving numerically - calculate all the change in
acceleration/velocity/position for a point, move a timestep, repeat.
With the simulation running into years of time with a timestep in
minutes, that can get quite large.
