Very nice!
Bit confusing (to the initiated) to use p for position. Usually means momentum, mv.

That was absolutely excellent! I always do it with basic vectors and matrices. Been meaning to learn calculus for ages but the principal is pretty simple.
If you feel like it, why don't you code a simple NN to balance a ball upright on a spring? Have one matrix control another. :)
