Reference excerpt

Nicoline Marie Elise Weywadt (1848–1921) was the first woman in Iceland to have studied and practised photography. On returning from her studies in Copenhagen, she managed the Teigarhorn farmhouse built by her father in Djúpavogshreppur. She built her own photographic atelier where she worked for many years.

Biography Born on 5 February 1848 in Djúpivogur, Nicoline Marie Elise Weywadt was the second oldest of the 14 children of Niels Peter Emil Weywadt (1814–1883), a director with Ørum & Wulff, and his wife Sophie Brochdorf (1826–1902). In 1880, the family moved to the house Niels Weywadt had built at Teigarhorn. Nicoline Weywadt studied photography and mineralogy in Copenhagen, graduating in 1872 and becoming the first Icelandic woman to master photography. On her return to Iceland, she established a photographic studio in Djúpivogur, the first in eastern Iceland. After her father died in 1883, she took over the Teigarhorn premises and added a photography workshop. All in all, Nicoline worked in photography for some 30 years. She trained her niece, Hansína Regína Björnsdóttir (1884–1973), as her assistant. (Hansina graduated in photography in Copenhagen in 1902.) In 1888, Nicoline returned to Copenhagen to gain experience in dry-plate photography. In about 1903, she left Hansina in charge of the studio. Nicoline Weywadt died on 20 February 1921.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nicoline Weywadt

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nicoline Weywadt claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In earth science, 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 Nicoline Weywadt 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 Nicoline Weywadt 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 Nicoline Weywadt

In research: Nicoline Weywadt appears in earth science 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 Nicoline Weywadt 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: Nicoline Weywadt is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1848 births, 1921 deaths, 19th-century Icelandic artists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nicoline Weywadt 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.
