Elliptical functions or integrals



Dear Colleagues,

Does anyone have any experience or thoughts regarding at what level it might
be appropriate to introduce elliptical functions or integrals to physics
students.

Assuming the absence of prerequisite math among high school students, what
would be the clearest and most easily accessible, demonstration(s) or
observation(s) (e.g., engineering applications) of the power and scope of
elliptical functions or integrals.

Best Regards,
K. Lee Lerner
