Gileyli Mosque

Gileyli Mosque is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Gileyli Mosque rather than just read about it. In short: The Gileyli Mosque (Azerbaijani: Gileyli Məscidi, Persian: مسجد گیلیلی) or Jomard Garay Mosque (Azerbaijani: Comərd Gəray Məscidi, Persian: مسجد جومارد گرای) is a mosque, located on Mirza Mansur street in the Old City of Baku in Azerbaijan. Completed in 1309 by the Iranian Shirvanshahs, the building was registered as a national architectural monument by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan on Augus…

Key takeaways

Gileyli Mosque belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Gileyli Mosque to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Gileyli Mosque from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

The Gileyli Mosque (Azerbaijani: Gileyli Məscidi, Persian: مسجد گیلیلی) or Jomard Garay Mosque (Azerbaijani: Comərd Gəray Məscidi, Persian: مسجد جومارد گرای) is a mosque, located on Mirza Mansur street in the Old City of Baku in Azerbaijan. Completed in 1309 by the Iranian Shirvanshahs, the building was registered as a national architectural monument by the Cabinet of Ministers of the Republic of Azerbaijan on August 2, 2001, No. 132.

History The Gileyli Mosque was constructed in two stages: in 1309, during the Shirvanshahs period, and in the second half of the 19th century. The name of the mosque corresponds to the name of the quarter where lived merchants of silk, originally from Gilan.

Architecture Originally, the mosque once had doors made of walnut tree, but it was burned and replaced. The old part has a cruciform-dome composition. The arms of the cruciform are deep domes; at the corners small rooms are placed. The mihrab with accurate proportion, profiled and decorated with architectural elements and details enriches the interior of the worshipping hall, which differs with its rigidness and tectonics of voluminous masses. The new section built in the 19th century does not affect the integrity of the scheme, but expanding the convenience. Its pointed-form dome repeats formed architectural atmosphere of the place, and becomes an integral part of the composition structure. Here are implemented new elements of European architectural composition. It's vividly seen on the structure of the façade. In 1805 a rectangular room 11 m (36 ft) long was attached to the mosque. Great attention is paid to the portal where an ornament in the form of a stalactite belt is applied. The windows are decorated with carved lattices.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Gileyli Mosque

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Gileyli Mosque claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, 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 Gileyli Mosque 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 Gileyli Mosque 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 Gileyli Mosque

In research: Gileyli Mosque appears in engineering 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 Gileyli Mosque 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: Gileyli Mosque is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 14th-century mosques in Azerbaijan, Buildings and structures completed in 1309, Icherisheher, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Gileyli Mosque 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.
