A few days back, I posted some #AnimatedGifs of the exact solution for a large-amplitude undamped, unforced #Pendulum. I then thought to complete the study to include the case when it has been fed enough #energy to allow it just to undergo #FullRotations, rather than just #oscillations. Well, it turns out that it is “a bit more complicated than I first expected” but I finally managed it.
