Katso

Katso is a science 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 Katso rather than just read about it. In short: Katso is a Finnish weekly television magazine published by Aller Media Oy in Finland. The Finnish word katso means "look!".

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Katso is a Finnish weekly television magazine published by Aller Media Oy in Finland. The Finnish word katso means "look!".

History and profile Katso started in 1960 as a TV guide, but in 2003 extended to entertainment and celebrity gossip. For a short period after its 2003 renovation, the magazine was known as Katso! and was issued two times a week. In 2008 it reverted to being a TV guide abandoning all gossip journalism and focusing on inside views on television programs. Katso is part of Aller Media and is published weekly by Aller Media Oy. The company acquired the magazine in 2006. The weekly is based in Helsinki. In the 1960s the magazine was very influential in shaping the early Finnish television context. Katso presents the annual Telvis television award.

Circulation In 2002 the circulation of Katso was 70,388 copies. Its circulation was 72,741 copies in 2006 and 63,000 copies in 2007. The 2011 circulation of the weekly was 27,979 copies. In 2013 Katso had a circulation of 27,543 copies.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Katso

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Katso 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 Katso 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 Katso 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 Katso

In research: Katso 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 Katso 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: Katso is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1960 establishments in Finland, Celebrity magazines, Listings magazines, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Katso 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.
