Hi Alex,

look up the option "AccuracyGoal" of NDSolve.

hope this helps, Daniel

It does that, but if I run from {t,0,20Pi} is starts to miss the initial point by more and more.  Basically, it's spiraling outward at a slow but unwanted rate.  This will be a problem for when I increase the difficulty of the function.
