[itex]\ \frac{d^2\theta}{dt^2}=\frac{g\sin\theta-\frac{L}{2}\frac{d\theta}{dt}\cos2\theta}{\frac{I_{G}}{mL/2}+\frac{L}{2}\sin2\theta}[/itex]

Solve for change in t between [itex]{\theta}=0[/itex] and [itex]{\theta}={\frac{\pi}{2}}[/itex]

Any ideas?

Variables "g, L, I, m" are placeholders for the user to input values. Thanks so much!

Use tex and itex, not latex.
 
Oh man. That's weird. I swear it was fine when I posted it haha. Well, now that you can see it. Any ideas?
