Reference excerpt

The Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices, also known as United States District Courts Building, in Charlotte Amalie in Saint Thomas, U.S. Virgin Islands, was built in 1914. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It was built for the Hamburg-Amerikanische Packetfahrt Aktien Gesellschaft and held offices for the Superintendent Counsul and also for the Imperial German Consulate. The German connection was lost when the U.S. purchased the Virgin Islands from Denmark just prior to joining World War I against Germany. It is a two-story reinforced concrete building about 82 by 75 feet (25 m × 23 m) in plan, with eight bays on its east and west facades and six on its south facade. Designed by German architect Fritz Klein, it is one of the United States' earlier examples of Modern architecture. In 1978 it housed the U.S. Immigration and Naturalization Service, the U.S. Marshal Service, and the U.S. District Court.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices 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 Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices 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 Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices 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 Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices

In research: Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices 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 Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices 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: Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1910s establishments in the Caribbean, 1910s in the Danish West Indies, 1914 establishments in Denmark, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hamburg-America Shipping Line Administrative Offices 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.
