Reference excerpt

The statue of Bolesław Prus (Polish pronunciation: [bɔˈlεs.waf ˈprus]; Polish: Pomnik Bolesława Prusa) is a bronze statue of Bolesław Prus in Warsaw, Poland, located in the Downtown district on Twardowski Square, near the intersection of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Karowa Streets. Prus was a 19th- and 20th-century Polish Positivist journalist and novelist, and a leading figure in the history of Polish literature and philosophy. The monument, designed by Anna Kamieńska-Łapińska, was unveiled on 15 January 1977.

History The monument is dedicated to Bolesław Prus, a 19th- and 20th-century novelist, and a leading figure in the history of Polish literature and philosophy. It was first proposed in 1916 in the magazine Tygodnik Illustrowany. The idea was revisited in the early 1960s, in the radio drama The Matysiaks. Money for its construction was donated by Warsaw artisans. In 1962 four teams of artists were awarded in a contest for the monument's design. However, none of these designs was used. Instead Anna Kamieńska-Łapińska was commissioned to create a new design. The monument was unveiled on 15 January 1977.

Description The monument is located on Twardowski Square, near the intersection of Krakowskie Przedmieście and Karowa Streets. Before the Second World War, at this site stood a building that housed the presses of Kurier Warszawski, a newspaper for which Bolesław Prus wrote. The monument is a bronze statue 3.6 meters tall (over twice-lifesize), standing on a low granite pedestal. The monument depicts Bolesław Prus as an elderly man in a pensive pose, holding a cane behind his back.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Statue of Bolesław Prus

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Statue of Bolesław Prus 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 Statue of Bolesław Prus 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 Statue of Bolesław Prus 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 Statue of Bolesław Prus

In research: Statue of Bolesław Prus 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 Statue of Bolesław Prus 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: Statue of Bolesław Prus is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1977 establishments in Poland, 1977 sculptures, Bronze sculptures in Poland, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Statue of Bolesław Prus 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.
