| Abstract: | The role played by the pendulum and its variants in the
development of mathematical sciences is reviewed. In particular, the case of a
pendulum viz. harmonic oscillator in physics is highlighted in the context of
mathematical, conceptual, conventional and engineering disciplines besides the
one in mathematical physics. It is pointed out that in all these applications
the concept of pendulum is used as a vehicle of knowledge mainly on the basis
of structural analogy. Finally, its role is an example of the
consciousness-manifesting phenomenon, will be discussed. |
