Reference excerpt

Gustavo Olivares Faúndez (19 February 1898 – 5 July 1960) was a Chilean chemist-pharmacist and politician of the Radical Party. Born in Ovalle to Belisario Olivares Pérez and Elena Faúndez, he married María Elena Barrios Barbaste in 1927.

Biography He studied at the Liceo de Hombres of Ovalle and later at the Liceo de Hombres of La Serena. He earned the degree of Chemist-Pharmacist from the University of Chile in 1920 with the thesis Industria de perfumería. He practiced in Curicó and Ovalle between 1920 and 1925, eventually becoming owner of "Farmacia Olivares". He engaged in mining activities, agricultural work in the estate “El Ingenio” in Ovalle, operated a pharmaceutical import business, and served as general manager of Laboratorios Sanderson.

Political career A member of the Radical Party, Olivares served as president of the local branch in Ovalle. In 1938 the Deputy Pedro Enrique Alfonso Barrios was appointed Minister of the Interior and replaced in Congress by Federico Alfonso Muñoz, who died in November 1938. The Qualifying Tribunal then awarded the seat to Olivares, who assumed for the remainder of the 1939–1941 term representing the 4th Departmental Group (La Serena, Coquimbo, Elqui, Ovalle, Illapel). He was subsequently elected Deputy for the same constituency for the 1941–1945 term, serving on the Committee on Medical-Social Assistance and Hygiene. He was reelected for 1945–1949, joining the Committee on Labor and Social Legislation; and again for 1949–1953, serving on the Committee on Roads and Public Works. He was a founding member and director of the Chilean College of Pharmacists (1950), director of the insurance company “La Previsión”, member of the Liga Protectora de Estudiantes and the Boy Scouts, and president of the Rotary Club.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Gustavo Olivares Faúndez

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Gustavo Olivares Faúndez claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In chemistry, 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 Gustavo Olivares Faúndez 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 Gustavo Olivares Faúndez 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 Gustavo Olivares Faúndez

In research: Gustavo Olivares Faúndez appears in chemistry 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 Gustavo Olivares Faúndez 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: Gustavo Olivares Faúndez is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1898 births, 1960 deaths, Chilean chemists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Gustavo Olivares Faúndez 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.
