A simplifying assumption is a deliberate oversimplification made to make a complex problem more manageable, often used in modeling and theoretical analysis to focus on the most critical aspects. While it can significantly reduce complexity and facilitate understanding, it may also lead to inaccuracies or overlook important nuances in the real-world scenario being modeled.

Modeling is the process of creating a simplified representation of a system or phenomenon to understand, predict, or control its behavior. It involves abstraction and approximation to capture essential features while ignoring irrelevant details, often using mathematical, statistical, or computational techniques.
