Reference excerpt

Vasant Kumar Bunwaree (born वसन्त कुमर बुन्वरी on 7 April 1947) is a former Cabinet Minister of Mauritius. He is more commonly known as Vasant Bunwaree.

Early life, education & medical career After completing his secondary education at Royal College Port Louis he worked as principal and teacher of private secondary school Collège Idéal in Rivière du Rempart for two years. He then studied medicine in France at the University of Bordeaux II and was appointed "Docteur en Medicine" in 1977. He later specialised and obtained the "Certificat d'Edudes spéciales en maladies cardiovasculaires" in 1981. He also hold diplomas in Tropical Medicine as well as Human Cytogenetics. In 1982 he joined the government service as the first Specialist in Cardiology with the Ministry of Health and was posted to Victoria Hospital, Mauritius. As Cardiologist, Dr. Bunwaree was responsible for the setting up of a full-fledged ICU and Diagnostic Cardiac Unit at the Sir Seewoosagur Ramgoolam National Hospital in view of starting permanent cardiac surgery centre in Mauritius.

Political career Vasant Bunwaree's political career started in April 1987 when the Prime Minister Anerood Jugnauth announced by-elections in Constituencies 12 (Mahébourg-Plaine-Magnien) and 13 (Rivière-des-Anguilles-Souillac). Jugnauth presented Vasant Bunwaree and socio-cultural activist Dhandeo Bahadoor of the Human Service Trust as candidates of the Militant Socialist Movement (MSM). However these by-elections were not held as General Elections were held in August 1987, as a result of which Bunwaree was elected in Constituency No.12. He later joined the Mauritian Labour Party where he served as the Vice President and Secretary General. Dr. Bunwaree was also elected as a Member of Parliament in 1991, 1995, 2005 and 2010 in Constituency No 12, Mahebourg and Plaine Magnien. He was Minister of Education from 13 September 2008 to December 2014. He had previously held the office of Finance Minister from November 1996 to September 2000 and also Minister of Labour from 2005 to 2008.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vasant Bunwaree

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vasant Bunwaree 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 Vasant Bunwaree 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 Vasant Bunwaree 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 Vasant Bunwaree

In research: Vasant Bunwaree 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 Vasant Bunwaree 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: Vasant Bunwaree is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1947 births, Cardiologists, Education ministers of Mauritius, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vasant Bunwaree 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.
