Reference excerpt

Vladan Radoman (1936 – 20 October 2015) was a Serbian physician writer. He grew up in his native country, with both his parents and his brother. He studied medicine in Belgrade.

Life Born in Novi Sad, he settled in Paris. He began his medical studies again, his Yugoslav diploma not being recognized. He then became an anesthetist-reanimator. In 1967, the Biafran war began as a result of the secession of the eastern region of Nigeria, which proclaimed itself the Republic of Biafra. With government troops carrying out a land and sea blockade, the region was plunged into famine, resulting in an estimated one to two million deaths. This war was widely publicized at the international level, which will push doctors to go and help the refugees. He then went on a mission with other French doctors: Marcel Delcourt, Max Recamier, Gérard Pigeon, Bernard Kouchner, Raymond Borel, Jean Cabrol, Jean-Michel Wild, Pascal Grellety Bosviel, Jacques Bérés, Gérard Illiouz, Philippe Bernier, Xavier Emmanuelli, and Louis Schittly. This war was at the origin of the foundation of Médecins sans frontières in 1971. On the occasion of Operation "A Boat for Vietnam" in 1979, Bernard Kouchner wanted to charter a boat with doctors and journalists to testify to the violations of Human Rights in that country. He also wanted to evacuate the Vietnamese who had fled their communist country. There was a violent quarrel at the origin of a split within the management of MSF who considered the operation too media oriented. Bernard Kouchner then left MSF definitively and created the organization Médecins du monde with fifteen other doctors in 1980. In 1982, the writer released his first book: Un pays en exil, then two years later Le Ravin which was awarded both the Prix Sainte-Beuve 1984 and the Prix Biguet of the Académie française. In 1999, he received the medal of Chevalier of the Légion d'Honneur from the hands of writer Michel Mohrt. At the age of 65, he stopped practicing medicine. He then devoted himself entirely to writing. In 2004, he left France to settle in Belgrade, where he continued to write books, but in Serbian this time. In 2007, La luciole de glace ("Ledeni Svitac") was staged at the Madlenianum Opera and Theatre of Zemun. Being ill, Vladan Radoman returned to France in 2015 and died on 26 October 2015 in Nice.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vladan Radoman

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vladan Radoman 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 Vladan Radoman 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 Vladan Radoman 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 Vladan Radoman

In research: Vladan Radoman 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 Vladan Radoman 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: Vladan Radoman is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1936 births, 2015 deaths, 20th-century Serbian writers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vladan Radoman 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.
