Reference excerpt

Jacek Namieśnik (10 December 1949 in Mogilno – 14 April 2019 in Gdańsk) was a Polish chemist, full professor of Gdańsk University of Technology. He was head of Analytical Department (1995–2019), dean of Chemical Faculty (1996–2002, 2005–2012), rector of Gdańsk University of Technology since 1 September 2016 until his death.

Biography In 1967 he graduated from the First High School in Inowrocław and started his studies at the Chemical Faculty of Gdańsk University of Technology. After graduating in 1972, he began his scientific career at this university, earning his degree in chemistry in 1978. The subject of his dissertation, conducted under the supervision of prof. Edmund Kozłowski was "The Determination of the total content of carbon and the content of organic carbon from volatile air pollutants". In 1985, on the basis of the dissertation "Concentration of volatile organic air pollutants", he obtained a degree of habilitated doctor, and the title of professor of chemical sciences received on 15 January 1996. In 1990–1996 he was a Deputy Dean for Education of the Chemical Faculty of Gdańsk University of Technology, and in 1996–2002 and again 2005–2012 Dean of this Faculty. Beginning in 1995 he was also the head of the Department of Analytical Chemistry, which has been awarded the Center of Excellence. Member of the Senate of the PG (since 1990) and head of the Doctoral Studies at the Chemical Faculty, Gdańsk University of Technology. Elected to rector of Gdańsk University of Technology in 2016–2020 Simultaneously with the duties of the Rector of the Gdańsk University of Technology prof. Jacek Namieśnik held the function of Vice-President of the Conference of Rectors of Polish Technical Universities (KRPUT) from 2016 until his death in 2019.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jacek Namieśnik

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

In research: Jacek Namieśnik appears in chemistry 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 Jacek Namieśnik 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: Jacek Namieśnik is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1949 births, 2019 deaths, Academic staff of the Gdańsk University of Technology, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jacek Namieśnik 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.
