Hans Solereder

Hans Solereder is a astronomy 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 Hans Solereder rather than just read about it. In short: Hans Solereder (11 September 1860, Munich – 8 November 1920, Erlangen), was a German botanist and university professor. Solereder studied biology from 1880 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, under Radlkofer, and was awarded a PhD in 1885.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Hans Solereder (11 September 1860, Munich – 8 November 1920, Erlangen), was a German botanist and university professor. Solereder studied biology from 1880 at the Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, under Radlkofer, and was awarded a PhD in 1885. From 1886 to 1890, he was Assistant, and from 1888 tutor in the botany department's laboratory. In 1890, he became curator of the Botanical Museum in Munich. In 1899, he became associate professor and in 1901 Professor of Botany at the University of Erlangen, where he was also Director of the Botanical Gardens. Solereder undertook field trips to Texas, California and the Yellowstone National Park. He edited the Dicotyledons according to the system devised by Radlkofer. This botanist is denoted by the author abbreviation Soler. when citing a botanical name.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hans Solereder

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

In research: Hans Solereder appears in astronomy 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 Hans Solereder 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: Hans Solereder is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1869 births, 1920 deaths, 19th-century German botanists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hans Solereder 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.
