Reference excerpt

Paramhamsa Nababsing, more commonly known as Prem Nababsing (24 November 1940 – 21 October 2017), was a Mauritian politician and MMM minister.

Early life Nababsing was born in Camp Diable, in the Savanne district of Mauritius. His father was a primary school teacher. By 1960, he completed his secondary education at Royal College Curepipe and secured a scholarship which enabled him to travel to England to study chemistry at University of Exeter. He graduated with a PhD by 1968 and then returned to Mauritius. Nababsing worked at Mauritius Chemical Fertilisers and Industries (MCFI) and the Mauritius Sugar Industry Research Institute (MSIRI).

Political career During the late 1960s and early 1970s Prem Nababsing and his wife, Vidula Seegobin-Nababsing, were actively involved in the newly formed MMM. At the 1976 general elections Vidula was elected to parliament in Constituency No.20. Following the victory of the MMM-PSM coalition at the 1982 elections Prem became Ambassador of Mauritius in France. At the 1983 elections Vidula was MMM candidate in Constituency No. 11 Vieux Grand Port Rose Belle but she was not elected. Prem Nababsing also returned to Mauritius from France after these 1983 elections. In 1987 Prem Nababsing was elected for the first time to the National Legislative Assembly in Constituency No. 13 Riviere des Angullies Souillac. He held the position of Leader of the Opposition (Mauritius) from 1987 to 1991. At the 1991 elections, Prem was re-elected for a 5-year term to Parliament and was part of the ruling MSM-MMM coalition. He was Minister of Health until 1993, after which he became Deputy Prime Minister of Mauritius until 1995. In 1994, Nababsing formed a new party called Renouveau Militant Mauricien (RMM). During the 1995 Mauritian general election, his party allied with the MSM suffered a huge defeat with no elected members in the parliament.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Prem Nababsing

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Prem Nababsing 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 Prem Nababsing 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 Prem Nababsing 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 Prem Nababsing

In research: Prem Nababsing 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 Prem Nababsing 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: Prem Nababsing is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1940 births, 2017 deaths, Alumni of the University of Exeter, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Prem Nababsing 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.
