Reference excerpt

Nes Church (Norwegian: Nes kyrkje) is a parish church of the Church of Norway in Midt-Telemark Municipality in Telemark county, Norway. It is located at Nesodden, just to the southeast of the village of Gvarv. It is one of the churches for the Nes og Sauherad parish which is part of the Øvre Telemark prosti (deanery) in the Diocese of Agder og Telemark. The white, stone church was built in a long church design around 1180 using plans drawn up by an unknown architect. The church seats about 170 people.

History The earliest existing historical records of the church date back to the year 1398, but the church was built long before that time. The church at Nes was first built around the year 1180, but at that time it consisted of simply the chancel. Dendrochronological dating of the roof rafters confirm that the wood was cut around 1180. The nave was constructed in the years following the completion of the chancel since there are significant stylistic differences in the construction of the two parts of the building. The church was consecrated on 13 September, but it is unknown in what year. The building was dedicated to the apostles Peter and Paul. The church is thought to have been the main church for Sauherad until the Black Death. After the Reformation, it became an annex chapel to the main Sauherad Church. The church was without a tower for several hundred years. In 1634, the church records refer to the construction of a small tower on top of the roof and later in 1663, the records indicate there were two clocks on the tower. In 1868, the current west tower was built out of wood and the small roof tower was removed. The new tower was large enough to include a church porch underneath it. The same year a wooden sacristy was added on to the east of the choir.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nes Church (Telemark)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nes Church (Telemark) 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 Nes Church (Telemark) 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 Nes Church (Telemark) 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 Nes Church (Telemark)

In research: Nes Church (Telemark) 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 Nes Church (Telemark) 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: Nes Church (Telemark) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 12th-century churches in Norway, 12th-century establishments in Norway, Buildings and structures completed in 1180, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nes Church (Telemark) 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.
