Reference excerpt

The statue of Wojciech Bogusławski (Polish pronunciation: [ˈvɔj.t͡ɕɛx bɔ.ɡuˈswaf.skʲi]; Polish: Pomnik Wojciecha Bogusławskiego) is a monument in Warsaw, Poland, within the Downtown district.

History

The monument was dedicated to Wojciech Bogusławski (1757–1829), a 18th- and 19th-century actor, theater director, and playwright of the Polish Enlightenment, who was the director of the National Theatre in Warsaw, and is considered the founder of the Polish opera. It was commissioned in 1929, and financed by the Association of Polish Stage Artists, and designed by sculptor Jan Szczepkowski in the Art Deco style. The statue was unveiled on 27 September 1936 by mayor Stefan Starzyński, in front of the Grand Theatre building, which houses the National Theatre. The monument was destroyed in 1944 in an explosion by German officers, following the fall of the Warsaw Uprising during the Second World War. Several fragments of its pedestal survived, while destroyed remains of the bronze statue were discovered in 1945 in the Lilpop's Factory in the Wola district. Jan Szczepkowski reconstructed the monument in 1964, with founding from the Social Fund for the Reconstruction of the Capital. It was unveiled at its original location on 17 January 1965, during the celebrations of the 20th anniversary of the Red Army of the Soviet Union entering the city during the Second World War. On the same day, a statue of Stanisław Moniuszko, also designed by Szczepkowski, was unveield nearby, next to the left wing of the Grand Theatre.

Characteristics The monument consists of a 2-metre-tall bronze statue of Wojciech Bogusławski, wearing a suit, with a coat rested on his right forearm, and a top hat held in his left hand, near his leg. It is placed on top of a 3-metere-top Art Deco pedestal, decorative slabs with reliefs, and geometric elements made of pink granite from Finland. It is placed in front of right wing the Grand Theatre building at 1 Theatre Square. The statue of Stanisław Moniuszko, is placed on the other side of the building, in front of its left wing.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Statue of Wojciech Bogusławski

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Statue of Wojciech Bogusławski 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 Wojciech Bogusławski 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 Wojciech Bogusławski 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 Wojciech Bogusławski

In research: Statue of Wojciech Bogusławski 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 Wojciech Bogusławski 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 Wojciech Bogusławski is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1936 establishments in Poland, 1936 sculptures, 1944 disestablishments in Poland, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Statue of Wojciech Bogusławski 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.
