Reference excerpt

Horacio Gómez Bolaños (28 July 1930 – 21 November 1999) was a Mexican actor and brother of Roberto Gómez Bolaños (Chespirito). On the TV show El Chavo, he played the character Godínez. Although Horacio appeared in many of his brother's productions, he preferred to handle the business aspects.

Career Gómez Bolaños did not consider an acting career when he was young. Instead, he went to university to study business and graduated with a degree in business administration. When Chespirito started production of El Chavo del Ocho and El Chapulín Colorado in Televisa during 1970, he needed an experienced sales team to look over the marketing side of the productions. Chespirito hired his brother, who was to see, among other things, the sales of products related to his shows, such as toys, clothes and other show related items. Chespirito saw something else in his brother, however, and soon, he convinced Horacio to try it out as an actor. As a result, Horacio Gómez Bolaños got the character "Godínez" on El Chavo del Ocho. Horacio Gómez Bolaños appeared less frequently than his co-stars on both of Chespirito's shows. Nevertheless, he also attained wide fame internationally when the show became a favorite among millions of Latin American children, as well as in Spain, the United States and other countries. After the production of both El Chavo del Ocho and El Chapulín Colorado were finished, Horacio Gómez Bolaños retired from acting, focusing instead on directing, producing and overseeing the marketing aspects of other Televisa productions.

Death Gómez Bolaños died on 21 November 1999 of a heart attack during the production of a tribute to Chespirito for Televisa. He was cremated and his ashes rest at the Parroquia Madre de Dios de Czestochowa Church, in Naucalpan de Juárez, State of Mexico.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Horacio Gómez Bolaños

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Horacio Gómez Bolaños claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, 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 Horacio Gómez Bolaños 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 Horacio Gómez Bolaños 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 Horacio Gómez Bolaños

In research: Horacio Gómez Bolaños appears in biology 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 Horacio Gómez Bolaños 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: Horacio Gómez Bolaños is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1930 births, 1999 deaths, 20th-century Mexican male actors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Horacio Gómez Bolaños 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.
