What is special about nonlinear ODE?
For solving nonlinear ODE we can use the same methods we use for solving linear differential equations
What is the difference? Solutions of nonlinear ODE may be simple, complicated,
or chaotic
Nonlinear ODE is a tool to study nonlinear dynamic: chaos, fractals, solitons, attractors

Amplitude dependence of frequency
For small oscillations the solution for the nonlinear pendulum is periodic with
For large oscillations the solution is still periodic but with frequency
