Marie Daiber

Marie Daiber 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 Marie Daiber rather than just read about it. In short: Marie Daiber (24 August 1868 – 6 July 1928) was a German-born Swiss zoologist. In 1913 she was the first woman to obtain a teaching certification at the Philosophical Faculty II of the University of Zurich.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Marie Daiber (24 August 1868 – 6 July 1928) was a German-born Swiss zoologist. In 1913 she was the first woman to obtain a teaching certification at the Philosophical Faculty II of the University of Zurich. After earning her PhD she became a professor at that same university.

Biography Marie Daiber was born in Esslingen (Württemberg) and spent her youth in Stuttgart, Germany, where her father taught science at Katharinenstift since 1870. She attended that same school followed by the associated teacher training college where she graduated in 1888. Then she worked as a private teacher for ten years. She began university language studies in Oxford, England, before enrolling in science at the University of Zurich, Switzerland, in 1899. In 1904, Marie Daiber received her doctorate under the Swiss naturalist Arnold Lang and eventually became a naturalized Swiss citizen. In the same year she took up an assistant position at the Zoological Institute of the University of Zurich. She also worked at the bibliographic resource for researchers called the Concilium Bibliographicum. She was promoted to prosector of the Zoological Institute in 1909 and she held that position until her death. In 1913, Marie Daiber qualified as a professor at the University of Zurich and was given a teaching post for comparative embryology. Beginning in 1914, she was also entrusted with the zootomical-microscopic training course. In recognition of her services to the Zoological Institute, she was appointed a professor in 1922. She received credit for writing many chapters in the volume Anthropoda of Arnold Lang's Handbook of Invertebrate Morphology, and she was involved in Lang' research in the field of experimental genetics. Marie Daiber died at 59 on 6 July 1928 in Genoa, Italy, after a long illness.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Marie Daiber

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Marie Daiber 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 Marie Daiber 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 Marie Daiber 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 Marie Daiber

In research: Marie Daiber 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 Marie Daiber 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: Marie Daiber is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1868 births, 1928 deaths, 20th-century Swiss educators, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Marie Daiber 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.
