Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Grande Enciclopédia Portuguesa e Brasileira

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Grande Enciclopédia Portuguesa e Brasileira 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 Grande Enciclopédia Portuguesa e Brasileira 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 Grande Enciclopédia Portuguesa e Brasileira 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 Grande Enciclopédia Portuguesa e Brasileira
