Reference excerpt

Renato Marcos Endrizzi Sabbatini (born 20 February 1947, Campinas) is a retired professor at the University of Campinas School of Medical Sciences (Department of Medical Genetics, Division of Medical Informatics and collaborating professor at the Department of Biomedical Engineering the Faculdade de Engenharia Elétrica e Computação da State University of Campinas. He received a B.Sc. in Biomedical Sciences from Medical School of the University of São Paulo and a doctorate in behavioral neurophysiology in 1977, followed by postdoctoral work at the Max Planck Institute of Psychiatry's Primate Behavior Department. He founded the Center for Biomedical Informatics, and helped create the Brazilian Society for Health Informatics. Sabbatini received several career awards, including the 1992 Prêmio José Reis de Divulgação Científica award for popular science writing, and was named one of Info Exame Magazine's "50 Champions of Innovation" for 2007. He was the founder and president of the Edumed Institute for Education in Medicine and Health, a "not-for-profit educational, research and development institution." Sabbatini is a Fellow Elect (Inaugural Class) of the International Academy of Health Sciences Informatics, established by the International Medical Informatics Association (IMIA), and a Fellow Elect of the American College of Medical Informatics, established by the American Medical Informatics Association.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Renato M. E. Sabbatini

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Renato M. E. Sabbatini 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 Renato M. E. Sabbatini 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 Renato M. E. Sabbatini 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 Renato M. E. Sabbatini

In research: Renato M. E. Sabbatini 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 Renato M. E. Sabbatini 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: Renato M. E. Sabbatini is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1947 births, Academic staff of the State University of Campinas, Brazilian businesspeople, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Renato M. E. Sabbatini 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.
