Reference excerpt

Georg (Albert Julius) Krause (1858 – 7 February 1915) was a Silesian-German oologist and bookseller from Hirschberg. He illustrated and published a book on the eggs of palearctic birds. Among his significant collections were eggs of the now-extinct Aepyornis.

Biography

Krause was born in Glogau, Kingdom of Prussia, and started collecting eggs during his childhood. He later lived in Hirschberg, Silesia. In 1900 he was in charge of the natural and geological collections at the Karkonosze Museum in Jelenia Góra. In 1901 he published a pamphlet on the anatomical structure of the ears of birds. In 1905 he became a curator at the Zoological Museum in Berlin and published the Oologia universalis palaearctica from 1906 to 1913 in 78 fascicles out of a projected 150 with quarto plates made from his own illustrations of eggs.

In 1914 he was concerned by the collection of tern's eggs, especially those of Sandwich tern, being used in large numbers in the Berlin chocolate industry for the production of Easter eggs. His note, with his address at Pankow, Berlin, on the topic was published posthumously in 1919.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Georg Krause (oologist)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Georg Krause (oologist) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, 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 Georg Krause (oologist) 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 Georg Krause (oologist) 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 Georg Krause (oologist)

In research: Georg Krause (oologist) appears in science 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 Georg Krause (oologist) 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: Georg Krause (oologist) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1858 births, 1915 deaths, German ornithologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Georg Krause (oologist) 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.
