Reference excerpt

The Geographic Society in Hamburg (German: Geographische Gesellschaft in Hamburg, GGH) is a non-profit, educational institution based in Hamburg whose aims is to establish and maintain connections between science with the state and the economy as well as society more generally. For years the city's first mayor also acted as president of the Geographical Society at the same time. The Institute of Geography of the University of Hamburg regularly hosts lectures delivered by the GGH. Along with the Hamburg Colonial Institute, founded in 1908, it helped prepare the way for the establishment of the University of Hamburg in 1919.

Foundation The society was founded in 1873 as organisation to promote geography in Hamburg, Germany. The first Annual Report, Jahresbericht der Geographischen Gesellschaft was published for 1873–4. Gustav Heinrich Kirchenpauer was the original president, with Ludwig Friedrichsen as the first secretary and Georg Friedrich Wilhelm Rümker as second secretary. There were 228 members at the end of March 1874, Otto Moritz von Vegesack, a founding member and diplomat representing the Russian Empire having died early that month.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Geographic Society in Hamburg

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Geographic Society in Hamburg claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Geographic Society in Hamburg before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Geographic Society in Hamburg ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Geographic Society in Hamburg

In research: Geographic Society in Hamburg appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Geographic Society in Hamburg in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Geographic Society in Hamburg is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Geographic societies, German organisation stubs, University of Hamburg, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Geographic Society in Hamburg outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
