Vasilije Matić

Vasilije Matić is a astronomy topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Vasilije Matić rather than just read about it. In short: Vasilije Matić (12 June 1906 – 20 August 1981) was a forestry expert from Yugoslavia. Matić was born in Srpske Moravice.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Vasilije Matić (12 June 1906 – 20 August 1981) was a forestry expert from Yugoslavia. Matić was born in Srpske Moravice. He graduated from the Faculty of Agroforestry at the University of Zagreb in 1930. He worked at Sušak, Sarajevo and Tuzla forestry office (1932–38), and Jasenak forestry office (1939–41). During the occupation of World War II, he was imprisoned (1941–45). From 1945 to 1949, he worked in the Ministry of Forests, and the Ministry of Wood Processing Industry of the People's Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina. He then became an Associate Professor and, in 1960, a full Professor on the Forestry faculty in Sarajevo in the subject of planning in forestry. He was an expert and science worker in forestry planning, particularly in the field of study of growth of trees. He was an organiser of the first forest inventory on large areas in Yugoslavia for the PR Bosnia and Herzegovina.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vasilije Matić

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vasilije Matić 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 Vasilije Matić 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 Vasilije Matić 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 Vasilije Matić

In research: Vasilije Matić 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 Vasilije Matić 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: Vasilije Matić is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1906 births, 1981 deaths, Academic biography stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vasilije Matić 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.
