/**
   The base class PolytropicPhysics provides the physics-dependent components
   for a higher-order method for a single patch: characteristic
   analysis, Riemann solver, quasilinear update, conservative update,
   and transformations between conserved, primitive, and flux variables.
   This class is essentially pure; i.e., all of its member functions
   are; and the ones that have default implementations are ones
   that are optionally defined; i.e., the default definition is to send
   an error message. Physics-dependent versions of this class that are
   required in real applications are derived from this class by inheritance.
