Reference excerpt

Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe (30 September 1886 – 10 April 1961) was a Swedish explorer, zoologist, and ornithologist. Born in the central Swedish province of Jämtland, he visited Lapland from 1906 to 1909 and joined the expedition of Dr. Paul Rosenius to southern Algeria. He also visited Thailand in 1911–12 and the Malay Peninsula in 1914–15. He studied at Uppsala University and joined under Professor Einar Lönnberg at the Department of Vertebrates of the Naturhistoriska Riksmuseum in Stockholm. He continued to work here throughout his life. In 1924 he obtained a Ph.D. from Lund University for his studies on the birds of central and eastern Africa. The subspecific name of the Tupana scythebill, Campylorhamphus procurvoides gyldenstolpei, is named after him. Also, a species of Thai lizard, Isopachys gyldenstolpei, is named in his honor.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In biology, 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 Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe 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 Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe 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 Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe

In research: Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe appears in biology 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 Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe 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: Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1886 births, 1961 deaths, 20th-century Swedish zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nils Carl Gustaf Fersen Gyldenstolpe 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.
