Reference excerpt

Ljubinka Nikolić is a Serbian designer and geoscientist born and raised in Belgrade, most well known for her participation in the now defunct Mars One project. Nikolić has a bachelor's degree in geological engineering as well as a master's in geography and interior design. She lives in Belgrade.

Education Born and raised in Belgrade, Nikolić studied at the University of Belgrade receiving her bachelor's degree in geological engineering. Shortly after, Nikolić travelled to the United States, attending Hunter College in New York City and getting a master's degree in geography. She later on attended the Florence Design Academy in Italy and received her second master's degree, one specialized in interior design.

Mars One The Mars One project was a Dutch colonization initiative for the planet Mars that was founded in 2011. Its aim was to establish a permanent human colony on the planet Mars by the year 2024. Nikolić was one of the few chosen to participate. Nikolić spoke about the project in early 2015, believing it to be a "bold and brilliant undertaking," and very much worth all the time and effort spent preparing. Nikolić, along with 99 other applicants were chosen from a pool of over 200,000 people, Nikolić herself being shortlisted to become one of the first to land on the planet due to her degree in Geological Engineering from the University of Belgarde's Geology and Mining program. In 2019 Mars One filed for bankruptcy due to issues with stockholders and was permanently dissolved, cancelling the mission to Mars and leaving behind their plans for colonization. Despite all this, Nikolić believes that "The Red planet will be the next home for humanity".

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ljubinka Nikolić

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ljubinka Nikolić claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth 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 Ljubinka Nikolić 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 Ljubinka Nikolić 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 Ljubinka Nikolić

In research: Ljubinka Nikolić appears in earth 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 Ljubinka Nikolić 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: Ljubinka Nikolić is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1964 births, Hunter College alumni, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ljubinka Nikolić 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.
