I'm reading this interesting book by Butcher.
I do not understand what are the definitions of stages and orders of numerical methods.
I think that these 2 terms are somewhat overloaded.
Which page for their definitions should I consult in the book to grasp them both?
EDIT:
I think that at least order has 2 different meaning: one of them being exact for polynomials of order at most $p$ and the other that the error converges as fast as $\cal{O}(h^{p+1})$.
EDIT Stages and orders I have located stages and orders in the book but I'm still unaware what do the notions mean.
ORDER
