Science on the Balcony: Position of a Pendulum

Simon: “The direct formula for the position of a pendulum is not what you might think”.

Simon originally got inspired to work on this project thanks to the My Physics Lab platform. Also inspired by 3Blue1Brown’s video Differential equations, studying the unsolvable and Brilliant’s Calculus Fundamentals course.
