This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Mariza Corrêa rather than just read about it. In short: Mariza Corrêa (1 December 1945 – 27 December 2016) was a Brazilian anthropologist and sociologist. She was professor at the Department of Anthropology of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp).

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Mariza Corrêa (1 December 1945 – 27 December 2016) was a Brazilian anthropologist and sociologist. She was professor at the Department of Anthropology of the State University of Campinas (Unicamp). She was also Unicamp’s Director of the Institute of Philosophy and Human Sciences from 1989 to 1993. Trained in journalism in the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul (1969), she started to study social sciences in the State University of Campinas where she graduated in 1975. She earned in 1982 her PhD in Political Sciences at the University of São Paulo with a thesis on Raimundo Nina Rodrigues. Starting in 1984, Corrêa was participated in the “History of Anthropology in Brazil” project (PHAB). The goal was to document the history of Brazilian anthropology from the 1930s to the 1960s. Through the PHAB project, she noticed the lack of information about the contribute of women to anthropology in Brazil and, in 1989, started the “Women Anthropologists & Anthropology” project. Between 1996 and 1998, she was president of the Associação Brasileira de Antropologia.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mariza Corrêa

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mariza Corrêa 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 Mariza Corrêa 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 Mariza Corrêa 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 Mariza Corrêa

In research: Mariza Corrêa 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 Mariza Corrêa 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: Mariza Corrêa is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1945 births, 2016 deaths, 20th-century Brazilian non-fiction writers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mariza Corrêa 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.
