Reference excerpt

Klaus Leidorf (born 5 June 1956) is a German aerial archaeologist.

Early life From 1976 to 1983, he studied Protestant theology and pre- and early history in Bonn and Marburg. Followed by a position as a scientific assistant at the University of Marburg from 1983 to 1985 and as an employee at the Bavarian State Office for the Preservation of Historical Monuments from 1985 to 1989. In 1988, he followed his fascination for aviation and photography and got his private pilot licence. Since then he has been working as an aerial archaeologist with the focus on Bavaria. Furthermore, he had lectureships at the Universities of Marburg, Würzburg and the Ruhr-University Bochum. He founded the publishing company Verlag Marie Leidorf, one of the larger German-language publishers for archaeological literature. Besides the tracing of countless undiscovered ancient monuments, his interest rises for the aerial documentation. Since the turnaround, he took photos of the German Green Belt, the former border between East and West Germany, in the years 1996, 2003 and 2008. Besides his documental work, he has accumulated a vast collection of artistic photographs from the birds eye view. They show the artistic-aesthetic survey of the manmade landscape and nature. His intuition for those structures and characteristics is unmistakable. His photos have been published in several calendars and books.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Klaus Leidorf

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Klaus Leidorf 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 Klaus Leidorf 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 Klaus Leidorf 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 Klaus Leidorf

In research: Klaus Leidorf 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 Klaus Leidorf 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: Klaus Leidorf is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1956 births, Aerial photographers, Archaeologists from North Rhine-Westphalia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Klaus Leidorf 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.
