Reference excerpt

Hippolyte Louis Gory (27 September 1800 – 26 April 1852) was a French entomologist.

Life Hippolyte Louis Gory was born in Paris, 5th arrondissement the 27 (or the 28) September 1800 (the exact date is 5 vendémiaire an IX in the republican calendar). He was married to Sophie Marie Sotom at Paris 30 March 1826. He died 26 April 1852 at Paris, 11ème arrondissement.

Works Horn & Schenkling give a list of 63 entomological works One of his main works was the Histoire naturelle et iconographie des insectes coléoptères (1837–1841), volumes 2-4; Castelnau writing the first volume only. This has become one of the rarest entomological books. Another well-known magistral work is the Monographie des Cétoines et genres voisins, published with Achille Rémy Percheron.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Hippolyte Louis Gory

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Hippolyte Louis Gory 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 Hippolyte Louis Gory 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 Hippolyte Louis Gory 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 Hippolyte Louis Gory

In research: Hippolyte Louis Gory appears in science 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 Hippolyte Louis Gory 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: Hippolyte Louis Gory is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1800 births, 1852 deaths, 19th-century French zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Hippolyte Louis Gory 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.
