Reference excerpt

The statue of Wojciech Korfanty (Polish: Pomnik Wojciecha Korfantego) is a bronze statue in Warsaw, Poland, within the neighbourhood of Ujazdów, within the district of Downtown. It is placed near the Royal Route, at the intersection of Ujazdów Avenue and Agrykola Street, at the entrance to the University of Warsaw Botanical Garden. The monument is dedicated to Wojciech Korfanty, a 19th- and 20th-century activist, journalist and politician, and a parliamentary member, best known as the advocate for incorporation of the Upper Silesia into Poland. The statue was designed by Karol Badyna, and unveiled on 25 October 2019.

History In 2014, the Warsaw City Council have approved the constitution of the monument dedicated to Wojciech Korfanty, at the Royal Route. In 2018, Warsaw, and eleven cities in the Silesian Voivodeship signed agreement about financing it together. This included: Bytom, Chorzów, Mikołów, Piekary Śląskie, Radzionków, Ruda Śląska, Siemianowice Śląskie, Świerklaniec, Tarnowskie Góry, Wyry, and Zabrze. A contest for its design was launched on 4 June 2018, with the winning project, submitted by Karol Badyna, being called on 16 October 2018. The monument was unveiled on 25 October 2019, on the 101st anniversary of a famous speech given by Konfanty in the Reichstag. The ceremony was attended by the President of Poland Andrzej Duda, Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, and mayor of Warsaw Rafał Trzaskowski.

Design The monument includes a bronze statue of Wojciech Korfanty, covered with a layer of patina. He is depicted wearing a formal suit, and leaning to the left on a plaque with a Polish inscription which reads: "Wojciech Korfanty; 1873–1939; polityk, chrześcijański demokrata". It translates to "Wojciech Korfanty; 1873–1939; politician, Christian democrat". It was not placed on a plinth, as to illustrate, according to the author, that "Konfanty was never put on a pedestal during his life". The monument is located near the Royal Route, at the intersection of Ujazdów Avenue and Agrykola Street, at the entrance to the University of Warsaw Botanical Garden.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Statue of Wojciech Korfanty

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

In research: Statue of Wojciech Korfanty 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 Korfanty 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 Korfanty is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2019 establishments in Poland, 2019 sculptures, Bronze sculptures in Poland, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Statue of Wojciech Korfanty 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.
