Review text

A discretization of the equations of motion of classical mechanics is presented and analyzed. Studying periodic motions the author shows that the discrete frequencies are different from the frequencies obtained for the continuous models. He presents some numerical calculations which demonstrate that his discretization leads to results which are better approximations to the continuous case than those obtained with the second Taylor approximation method.
