Reference excerpt

Triple J Magazine (stylised in all lowercase) was an Australian music magazine associated with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's youth radio station Triple J. It was independently owned and published for ABC Magazines by News Custom Publishing from 2005 to 2013 before being published annually in-house until 2016. Founded as jmag in April 2005, the magazine was initially published quarterly. Content included reviews for music, TV shows and movies, interviews with musicians and presenters on the station, Triple J Unearthed profiles, and annual lists of Hottest 100 countdowns. Due to the magazine's success, new issues were published monthly from 2007. The publication underwent a rebranding in August 2010 to incorporate the Triple J logo and full name in its masthead. At the end of 2012, a one-off annual edition was issued, the first of its kind. From August 2012, Triple J Magazine was published bi-monthly, until mid-2013 when it was dropped by News Custom Publishing. Staff of the magazine were made redundant, though Triple J assured customers it would become an annual print, published in-house. Three final editions, issued at the end of 2014, 2015 and 2016 respectively, were issued.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Triple J Magazine

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Triple J Magazine 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 Triple J Magazine 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 Triple J Magazine 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 Triple J Magazine

In research: Triple J Magazine 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 Triple J Magazine 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: Triple J Magazine is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Annual magazines published in Australia, Bi-monthly magazines published in Australia, Listings magazines, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Triple J Magazine 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.
