Reference excerpt

Marko Tomaš (born 19 December 1978) is a Bosnian poet, essayist, and journalist.

Biography He attended primary school in Mostar, Bosnia and Herzegovina, and Kljajićevo in Vojvodina, Serbia. He then finished high school in Sombor. Returning to Mostar, he enrolled in full-time law studies and the study of Bosnian language and literature. After two years, he interrupted his studies and, along with his friends, founded the Alternative Institute, an association dedicated to multimedia art projects. He also co-founded the literature magazine Kolaps together with Mehmed Begić, Nedim Ćišić, and others, and the publishing house Kolaps Book Production, where he served as editor. He ran the cult Split bookstore UTOPIA. From 2001 to 2003, he resided in Sarajevo temporarily. He often changed his place of residence, so he also lived in Sarajevo, Zagreb, Belgrade, Split and many other cities throughout the former Yugoslavia. He currently lives in Mostar, where he serves as the spokesman and leader of the OKC Abrašević club. In 2017, he signed the Declaration on the Common Language of the Croats, Serbs, Bosniaks and Montenegrins.

Literary work He is one of the founding editors of the magazine and publishing house Kolaps. He published poetry and prose in Bosnian and Herzegovinian, Croatian, and Serbian periodicals, as well as newspaper articles and essays in Dani, Glas Istre, and Feral Tribune. He publishes diary entries, essays, and political and sports commentary on the online portals Žurnal.ba and Lupiga.com, as well as in the magazine Urban Magazin from Sarajevo. He won the Super Cyber Story Award for storytelling and the Farah Tahirbegović Award for his engagement in the culture of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Motifs and his writing style are described by his publisher as follows: "What distinguishes his work, regardless of the form and genre, is honesty. Constant life reconsideration, unpretentiousness, strong emotions, various faces of love, melancholy, war, and the colors of everyday life - these are the characteristics of his poetry and prose. With his poetry, Marko lives a life outside the prescribed rules." Compared to early Leonard Cohen, he is described as a "poet of rare sensuality and emotional refinement with a refined bohemian touch." He is one of the most successful and most popular contemporary poets from the Balkans. His poems have been translated into Italian, French, Polish, German, Slovenian, English and Albanian. His poem is included in one of the more recent theater productions of Dušan Kovačević's play Balkanski špijun, performed at Raša Plaović, the stage of the National Theater in Belgrade. One of his most famous works is the poem Pismo Venjički, inspired by the poem Moskva Petushki by the Russian writer Venedikt Yerofeyev.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Marko Tomaš

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Marko Tomaš 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 Marko Tomaš 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 Marko Tomaš 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 Marko Tomaš

In research: Marko Tomaš 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 Marko Tomaš 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: Marko Tomaš is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1978 births, Bosnia and Herzegovina essayists, Bosnia and Herzegovina journalists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Marko Tomaš 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.
