Reference excerpt

Nikoloz (Niko) Beruchashvili (Georgian: ნიკოლოზ ბერუჩაშვილი; August 21, 1947 – March 23, 2006) was a famous Georgian geographer and cartographer. Doctor of Geographical Sciences (1981), professor (1983). The Vice president of the Geographical Society of Georgia (1998–2006). He introduced into the landscape science a new term of "STEX".

Biography In 1970 Nikoloz Beruchashvili finished the Faculty of Geography and Geology at Tbilisi State University. In 1982–2006 he was headed the chief of Cartography and Geoinformatics of Tbilisi State University. From 1979 to 2006 he was head of the scientific-research LAB studying the states of environment with aerospace methods and from 1970 until his death, he was chief Physical-Geographical Station of Martqopi. In 1995–2000 he was a professor of Soros Fund. In 2004 he was a founding chair of the International Geographical Union Commission on Landscape Analysis. In 2004–2006 he was a chair of the International Geographical Union’s Commission on Landscape Analysis. In 1981 defending his Doctor's degree at Moscow State University. He is the author of a theoretical concept of spatial-time analysis and synthesis in the landscape studies, which is introduced to the curricula of a number of universities. Beruchashvili with the Jean Radvanyi published "Geopolitical Atlas of the Caucasus" three times in the French and Georgian languages. Nikoloz Beruchashvili produced over 220 scientific works, of which 28 is monograph. Under his leadership 25 post-graduate students had maintained theses. The scientific adviser of 3 theses for a Doctor's degree. As the geographer has visited (attended) and worked in 60 various countries of the world. Nikoloz Beruchashvili was twice awarded the Order of Honor (2000, 2003).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nikoloz Beruchashvili

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nikoloz Beruchashvili claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, 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 Nikoloz Beruchashvili 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 Nikoloz Beruchashvili 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 Nikoloz Beruchashvili

In research: Nikoloz Beruchashvili appears in astronomy 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 Nikoloz Beruchashvili 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: Nikoloz Beruchashvili is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1947 births, 2006 deaths, 20th-century cartographers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nikoloz Beruchashvili 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.
