Simple harmonic motion is the physics of oscillations. Any time the restoring force grows with displacement, springs and small-angle pendulums included, you get SHM.
The results worth memorizing: period ignores amplitude, a spring's period ignores gravity, and a pendulum's period ignores mass. Energy trades between kinetic and potential twice every cycle.
