“…One of the most popular physical models encountered in undergraduate courses is the simple pendulum and the differential equation describing its motion [14,15,[17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Historically, the equation arises when studying the oscillations of a pendulum clock, but also appears in various other areas of physics, since problems often can be reduced to a differential equation similar to that describing the pendulum [16,21,22,26,27]. The exact solution to the equation of motion of the undamped pendulum is well known in the literature and involves the Jacobi elliptic functions [15,21,22,28].…”
