Key takeaways

  • Till We Win belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
  • Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
  • Connect Till We Win to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
  • Reproduce the core statement of Till We Win from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Till We Win: India's Fight Against the COVID-19 Pandemic, published by Penguin Books in 2020, is a book on the COVID-19 pandemic in India. It has been coauthored by three leading doctors/scientists and health system experts of India. Co-written by Chandrakant Lahariya, Randeep Guleria, and Gagandeep Kang, this book managed to garner significant critical attention from book reviewers and reputed media across the country.

Reception Mumbai Mirror wrote: "Dedicated to frontline healthcare workers, the book provides insights into how the pandemic emerged and grew, what was done to combat the virus, what continues to be done, and what the future holds for us. Dr Kang is, of course, one of the country’s leading medical scientist, Dr. Lahariya is a public health practitioner and public policy strategist, who has coordinated the World Health Organization's work in India on new vaccines, and Dr. Guleria is the director of All India Institutes of Medical Sciences." Ramya Kannan from The Hindu stated that Till We Win is a valiant attempt by three scientists who together wrote a book to provide the much needed clarity about the pandemic. About the book, she further wrote that: "It touches on all key aspects of the crisis, including the nature of viruses, the corona virus family, a timeline, the country’s state of unpreparedness, upgradation of health infrastructure, health systems and funding, treatment protocols that constantly evolved, raises and answers questions about quarantine, safety protocols, vaccines, based on scientific prudence at that point of time, hoping to address the gaps in communication that exist despite the carpet bombing of information on COVID." The New Indian Express's review of the book stated that: "Overall, the book is for the people, political leaders, policymakers and physicians, with the promise and potential to transform public health and strengthen Indian healthcare system. The book focuses as much about staying safe in the pandemic, providing information on vaccines and therapies."

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Till We Win

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Till We Win 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 Till We Win 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 Till We Win 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 Till We Win

In research
Till We Win 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 Till We Win 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
Till We Win is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2020 non-fiction books, Books about the COVID-19 pandemic, COVID-19 pandemic in India, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life
Look for Till We Win 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.
