function Y = ode3(odefun,tspan,y0,varargin)
%ODE3  Solve differential equations with a non-adaptive method of order 3.
%   Y = ODE3(ODEFUN,TSPAN,Y0) with TSPAN = [T1, T2, T3, ... TN] integrates 
%   the system of differential equations y' = f(t,y) by stepping from T0 to 
%   T1 to TN. Function ODEFUN(T,Y) must return f(t,y) in a column vector.
%   The vector Y0 is the initial conditions at T0. Each row in the solution 
%   array Y corresponds to a time specified in TSPAN.
%
%   Y = ODE3(ODEFUN,TSPAN,Y0,P1,P2...) passes the additional parameters 
%   P1,P2... to the derivative function as ODEFUN(T,Y,P1,P2...). 
%
%   This is a non-adaptive solver. The step sequence is determined by TSPAN
%   but the derivative function ODEFUN is evaluated multiple times per step.
%   The solver implements the Bogacki-Shampine Runge-Kutta method of order 3.
%
%   Example 
%         tspan = 0:0.1:20;
%         y = ode3(@vdp1,tspan,[2 0]);  
%         plot(tspan,y(:,1));
%     solves the system y' = vdp1(t,y) with a constant step size of 0.1, 
%     and plots the first component of the solution.
