Louis Shih

Louis Shih is a astronomy 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 Louis Shih rather than just read about it. In short: Louis Shih Tai Cho (Chinese: 史泰祖) (born 1952 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong dermatologist and deputy chairman of pro-Beijing New People's Party. Shih grew up on a public housing estate in Kwun Tong, Kowloon.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Louis Shih Tai Cho (Chinese: 史泰祖) (born 1952 in Hong Kong) is a Hong Kong dermatologist and deputy chairman of pro-Beijing New People's Party. Shih grew up on a public housing estate in Kwun Tong, Kowloon. He graduated from La Salle College and the MBBS of the University of Hong Kong. He emigrated to Canada in the early 1980s, but returned to Hong Kong in 1995. He is now married with three children. Shih was the chairman of SynergyNet, a policy thinktank in the Hong Kong pro-democracy camp. But he crossed the floor to support Regina Ip, the former Secretary for Security of the Hong Kong SAR and a pro-Beijing politician, to participate in the 2007 Hong Kong Island by-election. The following year, he stood in the legislative elections with Ip for the Hong Kong Island seats, but lost.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Louis Shih

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Louis Shih 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 Louis Shih 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 Louis Shih 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 Louis Shih

In research: Louis Shih 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 Louis Shih 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: Louis Shih is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1952 births, Alumni of the University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong medical doctors, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Louis Shih 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.
