Reference excerpt

The International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences is a biennial conference for topics of heraldic and genealogical interest. The Congress convenes scholars and other interested persons from Europe and throughout the world. The first Congress was held at Barcelona in 1929; at the second Congress, held in 1953, it was decided that future meetings would be held every two years (there being two exceptions). The 22nd Congress at Ottawa in 1996 was memorable '"for the first time beyond the birthplace of modern scientific studies in genealogy and heraldry"' with HE the Rt Hon. Roméo LeBlanc, Governor General of Canada and his wife Dr Diana Fowler LeBlanc as patrons. The 2006 Congress at St Andrews, had HRH The Princess Royal as its patron, and HE the Rt Hon. Michaëlle Jean was patron of the 2008 Congress at Quebec City. The main themes of the Congresses have changed greatly over the years, and some disciplines have ceased to form any part of the Congress' study. Abandoned subjects include sphragistics and iconography, which were dealt with at Paris, and vexillology, which was to have been one of the themes at Congresses after Bern. Genetics, which had been a subject of discussion at Stockholm in 1960, did not reappear until the Ottawa Congress of 1996. Chivalric orders were another discarded subject, despite featuring in the Congresses held at Rome/Naples, Madrid, Stockholm and Edinburgh, as well as in a few papers presented at Madrid in 1982.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences 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 International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences 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 International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences 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 International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences

In research: International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences 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 International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences 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: International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Genealogical societies, Genealogy, Heraldry, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for International Congress of Genealogical and Heraldic Sciences 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.
