A plot of your Excel results showing that the period of the linearized pendulum does not depend on the amplitude of oscillation. A plot of your Mathematica results showing that for the nonlinear pendulum, the period does depend on the amplitude. In addition this plot should also contain your experimental results. You will find that the ListPlot command is nice for plotting data points. You should also turn in your Mathematica notebook but do not turn in your Excel spreadsheet as it is likely to be very large.
Handwritten work is fine as long as it is very neat.
