Reference excerpt

Mobile Suit Gundam Alive (機動戦士ガンダムALIVE, Kidō Senshi Gandamu ALIVE) is a Gundam comic title created by Mizuho Takayama (illustration) and Yuka Minakawa (script). It was premiered on the November 2006 issue of Comic Bom Bom. The prologue chapter Gundam ALIVE Episode 0 is published in Gundam Magazine which was bundled with the November 2006 issue of Comic Bom Bom. This is a completely new story with no relation to previous Gundam series. Set in the 21st century (present time) with Japan as the main stage where a mysterious army has invaded with high advanced weapons called Mobile Suits, the protagonist lead stand against them with a mobile suit called "Gundam".

Story The year is 200X. A mysterious robot fell from the sky into Tokyo. The robot is called a "Mobile Suit". Meanwhile, another Mobile Suit named "Gundam" crash landed near Kurono...

Characters

Time Ball Liberation Army Main characters

Tokio Kurono (黒野時夫(くろのときお)) (Kurono Tokio (kuro no Tokio) The main protagonist of the story. A student and a regular of the soccer club. Kurono has always believed that he possesses some hidden talent. He first piloted the "RX-78-2 Gundam" and Second "RX-93 Nu Gundam", later he pilots the "System-∀99 Turn A Gundam". In the beginning of the story he becomes a pilot to fend off the "MS-06 Zakus" that were chasing Aiko. He is still an amateur at piloting MS (mobile suits) and was beaten badly in his first few confrontations with the Ministry army. Currently he is undergoing MS training at the Nishimikado House.

Aiko Anna Pruna (アイコ・アンナ・プルナ) (Aiko An'na puruna) A spacenoid who is a member of the Time Ball Liberation. The original pilot of the "RX-78-2 Gundam" and a pilot of the heavy fighter "G-Fighter", she eventually becomes the captain of the "SCV-70 White Base". Aiko and her brother were attacked while transporting a new MS and crash land on Earth, where she meets Kurono. Aiko was amazed at Kurono's ability to pilot the MS when he took over the controls from her. She appears to be from the future of another dimension. She was really excited when Kurono brought milk for her as she says that farming in space colonies is difficult and milk is expensive there. Sakuya Nishimikado (西御門朔也(にしみかどさくや)) (Nishimikado Sakuya (Ni shimi kado sakuya)) A student in the same school Kurona attends.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mobile Suit Gundam Alive

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mobile Suit Gundam Alive claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, 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 Mobile Suit Gundam Alive 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 Mobile Suit Gundam Alive 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 Mobile Suit Gundam Alive

In research: Mobile Suit Gundam Alive appears in engineering 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 Mobile Suit Gundam Alive 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: Mobile Suit Gundam Alive is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Children's manga, Gundam anime and manga, Kodansha manga, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mobile Suit Gundam Alive 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.
