Reference excerpt

Karl-Edwin Manshaus (born 19 February 1940) is a Norwegian businessperson and civil servant. He was born in Bergen, and holds the cand.jur. degree. He was hired in the Norwegian Ministry of Industry in 1970, then in the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy in 1978 where he became deputy under-secretary of state. From 1984 to 1987 he served as counsellor in energy affairs at the Norwegian embassy in the United States. From 1988 to 2004 he was the permanent under-secretary of state in the Ministry of Petroleum and Energy, the highest-ranking bureaucratic position. Because of a reorganization, his ministry was merged to form the Ministry of Industry and Energy in 1993, but a Ministry of Petroleum and Energy was re-formed in 1997. In 2004 he was hired in ConocoPhillips. He is also the chair of Manshaus Consulting. He was decorated as a Knight, First Class of the Royal Norwegian Order of St. Olav and a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Karl-Edwin Manshaus

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Karl-Edwin Manshaus 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 Karl-Edwin Manshaus 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 Karl-Edwin Manshaus 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 Karl-Edwin Manshaus

In research: Karl-Edwin Manshaus 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 Karl-Edwin Manshaus 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: Karl-Edwin Manshaus is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1940 births, Businesspeople from Bergen, Civil servants from Bergen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Karl-Edwin Manshaus 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.
