Reference excerpt

The Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery is a historic cemetery in rural White County, Arkansas, United States, northeast of Mount Vernon on Manning Road. It was founded in the 1880s, and is the only surviving remnant of an African-American community called "The Colony". It occupies 1.9 acres (0.77 ha) of basically level ground, and has 86 known burials. Of those, 58 are marked in some way, by some combination of head and foot stones. There are likely more burials on the property. The property includes the Mount Olive Baptist Church, a small clapboarded wood-frame building which has elements dating to the community's founding. The cemetery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2019. The Colony was established in the years after the American Civil War, when Arkansas experienced an influx of former slaves migrating from states in the Deep South in search of better land and working opportunities. The core of the settlement appears to have been at least in part former slaves of the DuPriest family, which had an extensive plantation. At its height in the 1930s, The Colony had an estimated population of more than 200. The community declined in the following decades, as later generations left for economic opportunities elsewhere. The descendants of families of this community have always known about this location as many of the descendants live in nearby towns such as Conway and Little Rock. In the 1970s the descendants began to have bi-annual reunions at Mt. Olive/Bedford Chapel. The reunions, also known as homecomings are celebrated on the weekend in the summer and end with a church service on Sundays.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery 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 Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery 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 Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery 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 Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery

In research: Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery 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 Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery 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: Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1880 establishments in Arkansas, African-American cemeteries in Arkansas, Buildings and structures completed in 1880, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Mount Olive-Bedford Chapel Cemetery 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.
