Introductory exposition (textbooks, tutorial papers, etc.) pertaining to special functions (33-01) Elliptic functions and integrals (33E05)

Review text

Along with historical remarks, some elementary properties of the elliptic integrals are mentioned: definitions, series expansions and inversions. Next, the differential equation \(x+Ax+ Bx^3=0\) is considered, and the solutions are discussed by means of the phase plane. Finally, two classical examples are given: the arc length of the ellipse and the period of the simple pendulum.
