MIT RES.TLL-004 Concept Vignettes View the complete course: http://ocw.mit.edu/RES-TLL-004F13 Instructor: Anthony Patera This video introduces students to stability of equilibria. A temperature example is explored using an energy argument, and then the typical linear stability analysis framework is introduced. This framework is applied in detail to analyze a pendulum.
