Reference excerpt

Texas Co-op Power magazine is the largest circulation monthly magazine in Austin, Texas. It goes to more than 1 million homes and businesses and is read by approximately 3 million people. The BPA audited statement for June 2009 put circulation at 1,188,965.

It is distributed in 227 of Texas’ 254 counties (2009 Directory, Texas Electric Cooperatives). Texas Co-op Power’s goals are to enhance the quality of life of member-customers in an educational and entertaining format. Recent feature stories have included profiles of the late writer Elmer Kelton, football legend Sammy Baugh and the Quebe Sisters, as well as pieces on wildlife photography, fall gardens and Hurricane Ike.

Subject matter Texas Co-op Power is a publication that covers contemporary life in Texas, featuring articles on topics such as culture, history, recreation, nature, gardening, cooking, and travel within the state. It also provides information related to electric utilities and publishes work by Texas-based writers. Its content reflects both the state's historical heritage and its ongoing social and economic development. Each subscribing cooperative may have as many as eight pages in the center of the magazine for local information and features.

Books Texas Co-op Power also publishes cookbooks and posters. The most recent cookbook is 60 Years of Home Cooking [2006, Texas Electric Cooperatives]. In addition to reprinting recipes published in the magazine, it describes the evolution of rural cooking as modern appliances such as microwaves and blenders gradually supplanted ice boxes and wood stoves.

Archives The archives of Texas Co-op Power reside at Texas Electric Cooperative headquarters on the 24th floor of the Westgate building, 1122 Colorado Street, Austin, TX. PDFs of the issues from 2004 to 2009 are online at www.texascooppower.com.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Texas Co-op Power

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Texas Co-op Power claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, 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 Texas Co-op Power 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 Texas Co-op Power 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 Texas Co-op Power

In research: Texas Co-op Power appears in physics 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 Texas Co-op Power 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: Texas Co-op Power is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1944 establishments in Texas, Energy magazines, Lifestyle magazines published in the United States, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Texas Co-op Power 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.
