Jumber Lominadze

Jumber Lominadze is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Jumber Lominadze rather than just read about it. In short: Jumber Lominadze (Georgian: ჯუმბერ ლომინაძე ; 20 September 1930 – 20 January 2014) was a Georgian astrophysicist associated with the Georgian Academy of Sciences. Biography Born in Tbilisi, Georgian SSR, Lominadze was trained as a physicist at the Tbilisi State University (1949–1951) and Moscow State University (1951–1955).

Key takeaways

Jumber Lominadze belongs to astronomy; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Jumber Lominadze to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Jumber Lominadze from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Jumber Lominadze (Georgian: ჯუმბერ ლომინაძე ; 20 September 1930 – 20 January 2014) was a Georgian astrophysicist associated with the Georgian Academy of Sciences.

Biography Born in Tbilisi, Georgian SSR, Lominadze was trained as a physicist at the Tbilisi State University (1949–1951) and Moscow State University (1951–1955). After working for the Russian center nuclear program at Chelyabinsk-70 from 1956 to 1958, he returned to Tbilisi where he worked for the Georgian Academy of Sciences for decades. He obtained a doctorate in physics and mathematics in 1974 and became a professor in 1982. He was elected as a Corresponding Member of the Georgian Academy of Sciences in 1979 and Academician in 1988. Lominadze directed the Abastumani Astrophysical Observatory from 1992 to 2000 and then the Plasma Astrophysics Center thereof from 2000 to 2006. He chaired the Georgian Space Agency from 2003 to 2006 and headed the Center for Space Studies at the Georgian Institute of Geophysics from 2006 until his death in 2014. Lominadze authored about 250 scholarly works, including his principal monograph Cyclotron Waves in Plasma, which appeared in Russian in 1975 and in English in 1981. Beyond his academic activities, Lominadze was involved in the public life of Georgia during the presidency of Eduard Shevardnadze. He chaired the Georgian Central Election Commission from 1997 to 2003 and oversaw four elections, those for local self-government in 1998 and 2002, parliamentary in 1999, and presidential in 2000. He died on 20 January 2014, aged 83.

Awards and honours Lominadze was awarded the Order of Vakhtang Gorgasali, 3rd Rank in 2000 and the State Prize in 2002.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Jumber Lominadze

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

In research: Jumber Lominadze appears in astronomy 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 Jumber Lominadze 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: Jumber Lominadze is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1930 births, 2014 deaths, Laureates of the State Prize of Georgia (country), so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Jumber Lominadze 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.
