Simple Pendulum - Simple Harmonic Motion Derivation using Calculus

The video tutorial covers the derivation of simple harmonic motion equations for a simple pendulum using calculus. It begins with a review of the pendulum period equation and the definition of a simple pendulum, highlighting assumptions like negligible string mass and point mass bob. The tutorial then derives the restoring force and applies the small angle approximation to simplify equations. It concludes with the derivation of angular frequency and period, and a clarification on the dual meaning of omega in pendulum equations.
