Reference excerpt

Mirko pl. Vidaković (October 29, 1924 – August 15, 2002) was a Croatian botanist and dendrologist and the expert for the genetics of the forest trees.

Biography Vidaković was born in Lemeš, Bačka. He attained a professional qualification of engineer of forestry before 1949, when he was first employed as a lecturer at the Faculty of Forestry of the University of Zagreb (Croatian: Šumarski fakultet). He was a full member of Croatian Academy of Sciences and Arts (HAZU) since 1981. He was the head of the arboretum in Trsteno since 1970. He worked as UNDP's and FAO's expert in Pakistan, Vietnam and Hungary. Together with forestry of Našice, in 1996 he founded first clone seminal plantation of pedunculate oak in Croatia. He died in Zagreb at the age of 77.

Works His works were published in various editions from international scientific gatherings, symposiums and consultations, mostly in area of ecological valorization of littoral carst, mechanization of agriculture, adaptation of forests to climate change etc. He published his works in Annales forestales.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mirko Vidaković

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mirko Vidaković claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, 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 Mirko Vidaković 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 Mirko Vidaković 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 Mirko Vidaković

In research: Mirko Vidaković appears in biology 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 Mirko Vidaković 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: Mirko Vidaković is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1924 births, 2002 deaths, 20th-century botanists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mirko Vidaković 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.
