Reference excerpt

The National Pantheon of the Heroes (Spanish: Panteón Nacional de los Héroes), whose full name National Pantheon of Heroes and Oratory of the Virgin of the Assumption (Spanish: Panteón Nacional de los Héroes y Oratorio de la Virgen de la Asunción) is a building and landmark of Asunción, Paraguay, and a national monument of Paraguay. Located between Palma and Chile streets in the downtown area of the Paraguayan capital, it is considered of great architectural, artistic and cultural heritage. In October 1863, the then president Francisco Solano López ordered the construction of a chapel to the Assumption of Mary, which was designed by Italian architect Alejandro Ravizza, in collaboration with the builder Giacomo Colombino. Following the War of the Triple Alliance, the building remained unfinished, surrounded by scaffolding for over 70 years. Only after the Chaco War in 1936 was it completed and inaugurated on October 12 of that year, by presidential decree as the National Pantheon of Heroes. The National Pantheon is the state mausoleum, where lie the remains of various figures of great significance in Paraguayan history such as Carlos Antonio López (first constitutional president), Francisco Solano López, José Félix Estigarribia (hero of the Chaco War against Bolivia) and his wife. In addition, in the pantheon lie the child martyrs of the Battle of Acosta Ñu and two Unknown Soldiers, among others. Within the enclosure of the Pantheon are illustrious honorary plaques sent by foreign rulers, kings and princes. Congratulations and verses of appreciation to the Paraguayan Navy, and Air Force among others. The front of the pantheon features an inscription in Latin, "Fides et Patria" ("My faith and my country.") It is customary in Asunción that when something historic happens (such as the victory of Fernando Lugo in the 2008 elections) people flock with flags to the street fronting the Pantheon to celebrate the event. A ceremonial changing of the guard is held several times a day.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with National Pantheon of the Heroes

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what National Pantheon of the Heroes 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 National Pantheon of the Heroes 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 National Pantheon of the Heroes 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 National Pantheon of the Heroes

In research: National Pantheon of the Heroes 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 National Pantheon of the Heroes 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: National Pantheon of the Heroes is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1936, Buildings and structures in Asunción, Cemeteries in Paraguay, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for National Pantheon of the Heroes 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.
