Reference excerpt

Simon Jaquemet (born 1978) is a Swiss filmmaker and AI artist.

Early life and education Jaquemet was born in Zurich and was raised on a farm near Basel. He studied filmmaking at Zurich University of the Arts.

Career After directing a series of short films, Jaquemet's feature debut, the teenage drama film War, premiered at the San Sebastián International Film Festival in 2014. War won the Max Ophüls Award for Best Feature Film and was nominated for Best Feature at the 2015 Swiss Film Awards. Jaquemet's second feature film The Innocent, starring Judith Hofmann as a neuroscience researcher who struggles to reconcile her devout Christian faith with her employer's radical experiments on primates, premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Simon Jaquemet

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Simon Jaquemet claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, 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 Jaquemet 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 Jaquemet 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 Jaquemet

In research: Simon Jaquemet appears in science 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 Jaquemet 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 Jaquemet is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1978 births, Artificial intelligence in film and video, Living people, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Simon Jaquemet 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.
