// Class description:
//
// Abstract base class for integrator of particle's equation of motion,
// used in tracking in space dependent magnetic field.
//
// A Stepper must integrate over NumberOfVariables elements,
// and also copy (from input to output) any of NoStateVariables  
// not included in the NumberOfVariables.  
// 
// So it is expected that NoStateVariables >= NumberOfVariables
