...physics of coordinate importance with those of geometry, namely, the phenomena of vibrating systems, of which the pendulum is a familiar example. The simplest type of oscillatory motion is governed by a differential equation of the second order, and two of the solutions of this equation are the functions sin x and cos x. By means of the differential equation the leading properties of these functions can be deduced with ease, and thus the foundations of trigonomemtry are laid...
