Abstract This paper examines the calculation of the period of a simple pendulum in the case of extremely large amplitude movements. The calculation is carried out using the method of asymptotic matching, which allows obtaining analytical solutions for the pendulum period that contrast very well with the values found through numerical integration. This analysis can be of great use to undergraduate and graduate students in physical sciences, as it provides mathematical tools that are highly useful in the fields of physical and mathematical sciences. These tools can be applied to a range of more complex problems in areas such as quantum mechanics, fluid mechanics, and related fields.

EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF PHYSICS 是欧洲物理学会的期刊，其主要任务是协助维持和提高大学和其他高等教育机构的物理教学标准。提交文章的作者必须表明其材料对物理教育的有用性并明确文章的目标读者群体（本科或研究生）。忽略此信息或出版商认为对上述任务没有贡献的提交将不被考虑出版。为此，我们欢迎提供原创见解并旨在加强一个或多个领域学习的文章它们通常应至少包括以下内容之一： 解释当代研究如何帮助理解大学水平的物理学：例如，在学生可以理解的水平上对研究领域的调查，解释它如何说明一些一般原则。对结果推导的原始见解。这些应该是一些普遍的兴趣，不仅仅是对教科书的更正。对新颖的实验室练习的描述，说明了普遍感兴趣的新技术。尤其欢迎那些基于相对便宜的设备的练习。文章具有学术或反思性质，旨在引起物理学兴趣并达到适合物理学的水平学生或应届毕业生。成功和原创学生项目的描述，实验，理论或计算。在物理学生和教师可以访问的水平上讨论物理的历史，哲学和认识论。物理课程和技术的新发展报告用于物理教学。物理教育研究报告：提供与大学物理教学直接相关的原创实验和/或理论研究贡献的文章。

The European Journal of Physics is a journal of the European Physical Society, aimed at assisting in maintaining and enhancing the standards of physics education in universities and other higher education institutions. Authors submitting articles must indicate the usefulness of their material for physics education and clearly specify the target audience of their articles (undergraduate or graduate students). Submissions that omit this information or are deemed by the publisher to contribute little to the aforementioned goals will not be considered for publication. We welcome articles that provide original insights and aim to strengthen learning in one or more areas, typically including at least one of the following: explanations of how contemporary research aids in understanding university-level physics, such as surveys of research fields at a level comprehensible to students, illustrating how it elucidates general principles; original insights into the derivation of results, which should be of general interest rather than mere corrections to textbooks; descriptions of novel laboratory exercises that demonstrate new techniques of general interest, especially those based on relatively inexpensive equipment; articles of an academic or reflective nature that aim to stimulate interest in physics and are suitable for physics students or recent graduates; descriptions of successful and original student projects, whether experimental, theoretical, or computational; discussions of the history, philosophy, and epistemology of physics at a level accessible to physics students and teachers; reports on new developments in physics courses and techniques for physics education; and reports of original experimental and/or theoretical research contributions directly related to university physics teaching.
