Curves similarity metric
If I may just expand upon Suvrit's suggestion, here is an image illustrating
the Fréchet distance,
the minimum length of a leash allowing a dog and its owner to walk
along the two curves without backt …

Unconventional examples of mathematical modelling
You mention the motion of a pendulum as conventional. Perhaps extending to
a chaotic double pendulum would serve as a useful contrast:
