Solving ODEs backwards  
When solving differential equations, it is often helpful
      to solve orbits both backwards and forwards in time. If you set
      Start Plotting to -10 and Stop Plotting to 10 
      on the Time panel of Numerics Editor,
      solutions first computed backwards from the initial conditions
      for 10 time units, and
      then forwards from the same initial conditions for
      another 10 units of time.
