Reference excerpt

Lin Kuo-hua (Chinese: 林國華; 19 September 1935 – 27 July 2016) was a Taiwanese politician.

Early life Lin was born in Gukeng, Yunlin, in 1935. He attended Taichung Municipal Taichung First Senior High School and completed a degree in civil engineering at National Taiwan University.

Activism and political career Lin was active in the farmers' rights movement, and headed the 1988 farmers' rights protest in Taiwan, as well as a similar protest in 1993. He was elected to the Legislative Yuan as a representative of Yunlin County affiliated with the Democratic Progressive Party for the first time in 1998, and won a second term in 2001. During his unsuccessful reelection bid in 2004, Lin was investigated for bribery, as were fellow candidates Ho Chin-sung and Chen Chiang-sun. In 2005, Lin lost a party primary for the Yunlin County magistracy election to Su Chih-fen. He was later appointed vice chairman of the Council of Agriculture (COA). While serving within the COA, Lin was named a trustee of the Straits Exchange Foundation in September 2006.

Personal life Lin was married to Huang Fu-mei, who was a member of the National Assembly. Their daughter Lin Hui-ju served as mayor of Gukeng and on the Yunlin County Council. In January 2007, Lin Kuo-hua underwent surgery to remove blood clots from his brain. Lin died on 27 July 2016.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Lin Kuo-hua

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Lin Kuo-hua 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 Lin Kuo-hua 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 Lin Kuo-hua 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 Lin Kuo-hua

In research: Lin Kuo-hua 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 Lin Kuo-hua 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: Lin Kuo-hua is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1935 births, 2016 deaths, Democratic Progressive Party Members of the Legislative Yuan, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Lin Kuo-hua 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.
