Kozai–Lidov (KL) oscillations in hierarchical triple systems have found application to many astrophysical contexts, including planet formation, Type Ia supernovae, and supermassive black hole dynamics. The period of these oscillations is known at the order-of-magnitude level, but dependences on the initial mutual inclination or inner eccentricity are not typically included. In this work I calculat...
