In his article,

 decay of the motion of the pendulum.

{\bf Notes} 
\begin{itemize}
\item{Use the format provided here as a template; the text is entirely yours to write.}
\item{Your review {\em must} consider an historical
      $(t \le 1947 AD)$ and substantive article from a respected journal, e.\ g.\
      {\em Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, Proceedings of
      the Royal Society of London, Philosophical Magazine.}
      }
\item{One page maximum.}
\item{Run your text file through a spell checker
      (UNIX command:  {\em ispell filename.tex).}}
\item{Always use complete sentences.}
\item{Leave two spaces after a period.  Leave one space after a comma.}
\item{Give a footnote in the precise format given below. Do not be
      redundant with the text.}
\item{Use commas or periods at the end of equations as appropriate.}
\item{Do not use contractions (such as don't).}
\item{Minimize quotations.  When necessary, use matched pairs of 
     single quotes, like this: ``your quote here''.}
\item{Identify all variables with words of description.}
\item{All mathematical variables, whether within
      the text or in a separate equation,
      should be written in math mode,
      e.g. ``When $x=0$, there is a singularity.''}
\item{English text within equations should be in text mode;
      use the mbox and qquad commands for
      this: $$x=1 \qquad \mbox{when} \qquad y=0.$$}
\item{Do not let your review become dominated by equations.}
\item{Avoid simplistic or trite statements such as,
     ``The authors have pointed
     the way to a method from which we can all benefit.''}
\end{itemize}
