Simple State Space Model of a Pendulum

This is the first post of a series that will build on simple pendulum dynamics to investigate different control laws and how model uncertainty affects the linear model approximation. Pendulum Model We will start by deriving the equations of motion for the simple pendulum shown below. The mass $m$ is
