Contents:
1. Free oscillations of a linear oscillator -- 2. Torsion spring oscillator with dry friction -- 3. Forced oscillations in a linear system -- 4. Square-wave excitation of a linear oscillator -- 5. Parametric excitation of oscillations -- 6. Sinusoidal modulation of the parameter -- 7. Free oscillations of the rigid pendulum -- 8. Rigid planar pendulum under sinusoidal forcing -- 9. Pendulum with a square-wave modulated length -- 10. Rigid pendulum with oscillating pivot -- 11. Torsion pendulum with dry and viscous damping.
