Reference excerpt

Ulrik Fredrik Malt (born 1946) is a Norwegian psychiatrist. He was a consultant psychiatrist at Oslo University Hospital, Rikshospitalet, and was Director of the Department of Neuropsychiatry and Psychosomatic Medicine from 1987 to 2013. Since 2014 he is a senior consultant, Department of Research and Education, Division of Surgery and Clinical Neuroscience, Oslo University Hospital. Holding a position of Professor II at the University of Oslo since 1988, in 2016 he became professor emeritus. He took his examen artium in 1965 and studied medicine at the universities of Munster, Germany and Oslo, Norway, graduating as cand.med. in 1973. He became a specialist in psychiatry in 1987 and got his dr.med. degree also in 1987. He has been editor and author of several textbooks of psychiatry (in Norwegian) and has authored chapters in international textbooks of psychiatry. He has been responsible for all articles on psychiatry and psychology in the encyclopedia Store norske leksikon. In 2012, he testified as an expert witness in the trial of Anders Behring Breivik. According to Malt, Breivik has Asperger syndrome, possibly Tourette syndrome and narcissistic personality disorder. He could not with 100% confidence rule out paranoid psychosis (delusional disorder) although he found it less than 50% likely. The conclusion of Asperger syndrome was rebutted by Eirik Johannesen, but supported by child psychiatrist Per Olav Næss who treated Breivik when he was admitted to child psychiatric care 3–4 years of age.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Ulrik Fredrik Malt

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Ulrik Fredrik Malt claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, 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 Ulrik Fredrik Malt 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 Ulrik Fredrik Malt 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 Ulrik Fredrik Malt

In research: Ulrik Fredrik Malt appears in astronomy 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 Ulrik Fredrik Malt 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: Ulrik Fredrik Malt is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1946 births, Living people, Norwegian people stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Ulrik Fredrik Malt 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.
