N2 - A simple qualitative physical explanation is suggested for the phenomenon of dynamic stabilization of the inverted rigid planar pendulum whose pivot is constrained to oscillate with a high frequency in the vertical direction. A quantitative theory based on the suggested approach is developed. A computer program simulating the physical system supports the analytical investigation. The simulation reveals subtle details of the motion and aids the analytical study of the subject in a manner that is mutually reinforcing.
