You can code up any numerical integrator or differentiator with fexpr~. That's a straightforward textbook problem that you can use to make a good demo. Differential equations are the jumping off point for *everything* to do with oscillators, filters, resonances, up to Fourier analysis. Like Andy mentioned--you can't simply code up the differentiators/integrators into blocks and then string them together to use feedback. Any differential equation simulation with feedback needs to take place in a single object.
