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

Reference excerpt

Katrina (Kate) Anne Jolliffe is an Australian supramolecular and organic chemist and professor at the University of Sydney. In 2002 Jolliffe was awarded an ARC fellowship at the University of Sydney. She was made a senior lecturer in 2007, promoted associate professor in 2008 and full professor in 2009. From 2013 to 2016 she was head of the school of chemistry. Jolliffe is a Fellow of both the Royal Society of New South Wales and the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. In 2020 she was elected a Fellow of the Australian Academy of Science. She has won a number of awards including the Biota Award for Medicinal Chemistry, A. J. Birch, H.G. Smith Memorial medals, and Margaret Sheil Leadership Awards from the Royal Australian Chemical Institute.

Research interests Jolliffe's research interests include the development of molecules that recognise and sense anions, and the synthesis of natural and novel cyclic peptides.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Katrina A. Jolliffe

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Katrina A. Jolliffe 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 Katrina A. Jolliffe 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 Katrina A. Jolliffe 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 Katrina A. Jolliffe

In research: Katrina A. Jolliffe 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 Katrina A. Jolliffe 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: Katrina A. Jolliffe is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 21st-century Australian chemists, Academic staff of the University of Sydney, Australian scientist stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Katrina A. Jolliffe 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.
