Madoka Sasaki

Madoka Sasaki 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 Madoka Sasaki rather than just read about it. In short: Madoka Sasaki (佐々木望, Sasaki Madoka; 1883–1927) was a Japanese zoologist, who is known for his work on the cephalopods of Japan, as well as other groups such as salamanders. Academic career Sasaki was Professor of Zoology in the Fishery Department of the College of Agriculture at Tohoku Imperial University, Sapporo, Japan.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Madoka Sasaki (佐々木望, Sasaki Madoka; 1883–1927) was a Japanese zoologist, who is known for his work on the cephalopods of Japan, as well as other groups such as salamanders.

Academic career Sasaki was Professor of Zoology in the Fishery Department of the College of Agriculture at Tohoku Imperial University, Sapporo, Japan. Sasaki died in 1927 and his major work A monograph of the dibranchiate cephalopods of the Japanese and adjacent waters was published posthumously in 1929. It was based largely on his studies of the cephalopod collections of the Zoology Department of the "Tokyo University Museum", many of which he collected himself.

Honors The species Sebastodes sasakii, Octopus sasakii and Sepia sasakii are among the taxa that bear names that honour Sasaki.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Madoka Sasaki

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Madoka Sasaki 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 Madoka Sasaki 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 Madoka Sasaki 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 Madoka Sasaki

In research: Madoka Sasaki 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 Madoka Sasaki 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: Madoka Sasaki is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1883 births, 1927 deaths, 20th-century Japanese zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Madoka Sasaki 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.
