Reference excerpt

Jovan Stefanović Vilovski (1821-1902) was one of the early Serbian scientist hydrologists who studied the waters in the March, situated along the Pannonian rivers, the Danube, Sava and the Tisa. He was a general staff major in the Austro-Hungarian army. During the 1848 Revolution, he participated on the side of the Conservative wing around Patriarch Josif Rajačić. He also fought at the Battle of Solferino. In 1865 he retired and moved from Srem to Vienna where he then began to pursue hydrology. He authored 60 important papers, mainly on the amelioration and regulation of the rivers Tisza and the Danube. He left an extensive memoir in manuscript form. His work "From the Life of an Officer ..." (Zemun, 1863), written in the Slavoserbian alphabet, served as one of the sources for the Dictionary of Serbo-Croatian Literary and Folk Language in an edition of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jovan Stefanović Vilovski

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Jovan Stefanović Vilovski 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 Jovan Stefanović Vilovski 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 Jovan Stefanović Vilovski 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 Jovan Stefanović Vilovski

In research: Jovan Stefanović Vilovski 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 Jovan Stefanović Vilovski 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: Jovan Stefanović Vilovski is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1821 births, 1902 deaths, Hydrologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jovan Stefanović Vilovski 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.
