Reference excerpt

Simon Eldershaw (born 3 December 1983) is an English former professional footballer.

Career Eldershaw started his career with Port Vale, joining the club's centre of excellence at the age of seven after being scouted by Jim Cooper. He scored his first senior goal for the "Valiants" in a 2–1 defeat at Huddersfield Town on Boxing Day 2004. He was only to make 15 appearances though, before being released by manager Martin Foyle in May 2005. Following his release he had a trial with Kidderminster Harriers, before having spells with local non-League teams Northwich Victoria, Leek Town, Nantwich Town, Alsager Town and Newcastle Town. He turned out in two league and one FA Cup qualifier game for Kidsgrove Athletic in the 2008–09 season. He graduated from the Open University with a degree in IT. He became a teacher, and taught in the IT Department at St Thomas More Catholic Academy in Stoke-on-Trent. He later became a teacher at Alleyne's High School in Stone, Staffordshire, also playing for local non-League team Stone Dominoes from August 2009. Stone finished as champions of the North West Counties League Division One in 2009–10, before retraining their Premier Division status in 2010–11 and 2011–12.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Simon Eldershaw

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Simon Eldershaw 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 Simon Eldershaw 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 Simon Eldershaw 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 Simon Eldershaw

In research: Simon Eldershaw 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 Simon Eldershaw 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: Simon Eldershaw is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1983 births, 21st-century English sportsmen, Alsager Town F.C. players, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Simon Eldershaw 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.
