Encke's Method returns wrong values #2

Open gagandeepthapar opened 1 year ago

Encke's Method in perturbations module transcribed from Curtis appendix and returns answers that are very close but incorrect to what is expected. May be a case of the ODE / tolerances. Using example 10.2 from Curtis to validate method to test Encke's method and perturbations from oblateness. Using Universal Variable Propagation instead of the recommended algorithm but the answers should be identical.
