👉 In mathematics, an overidealization is a process by which a system or object is made to look idealized in order to be understood more clearly. This can often involve making assumptions about certain aspects of the system that are not actually present, such as its properties. For example, consider a mathematical model of a simple pendulum. The pendulum's length and mass would be considered overidealized if we were to assume that they are perfect spheres with constant density and uniform mass distribution. This assumption
