Reference excerpt

The Parroquia San Antonio de Padua, commonly known as the Iglesia de Curridabat is a church located in Curridabat, Costa Rica.

History It is one of the oldest parishes in the countries, with over 400 years of history. The first church in Curridabat was a temporary structure erected by two Franciscan friars, who had assisted in the evangelization of Barva and Aserrí and who wished now to convert the people of Cacique Currirava. Later, a small adobe church replaced the older wooden structure. In 1676 the church was dedicated to Saint Anthony of Padua. The parochial archives were destroyed in 1830 in a fire. In 1833, Curridabat was raised to an independent parish. In 1835, during the League War, the forces from Cartago, commandeered the church. It was the depository of the statue of the Black Madonna, patron saint of Costa Rica (and which today resides in the Basilica de los Ángeles). When they lost the battle, the statue was removed to San José as a spoil of war. The church was destroyed by an earthquake in 1841, and again in 1910. It was then demolished in 1923, when Curridabat's resident priest, Anselmo Palacios, decided to construct a new church. He enlisted Costa Rican architect Teodorico Quirós to design the church, and it was completed in 1933. Major repairs were initiated in 2007.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Parroquia San Antonio de Padua

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Parroquia San Antonio de Padua 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 Parroquia San Antonio de Padua 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 Parroquia San Antonio de Padua 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 Parroquia San Antonio de Padua

In research: Parroquia San Antonio de Padua 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 Parroquia San Antonio de Padua 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: Parroquia San Antonio de Padua is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1638 establishments in the Spanish Empire, Buildings and structures completed in 1933, Buildings and structures in San José Province, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Parroquia San Antonio de Padua 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.
