-Another good example is the [[models:basis_models:pendulum|pendulum]]. The total configuration space of a pendulum swinging just in two dimensions is a circle $S^1$, since a pendulum can swing once around its suspension. The configuration space of a pendulum swinging in 3-dimensions is the sphere $S^2$.

 This is useful, since now we can describe our system in terms of paths in the configuration space. The system starts in one specific configuration, which corresponds to one point in the configuration space. Then as it evolves this point starts moving around in configuration space. Thus, we only need to keep track of how this one point moves around.
