Vladimir Churilovski

Vladimir Churilovski is a physics 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 Vladimir Churilovski rather than just read about it. In short: Vladimir Nikolaevich Churilovski (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Чуриловский; 25 May 1898 in Saint Petersburg – 11 November 1983) was a professor and one of the founders of the Pedagogical School of Applied and Computational Optics. He was a major contributor to Russian science and was awarded with the Order of the Red Star, Order of the Red Banner, among other honors.

Key takeaways

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

Reference excerpt

Vladimir Nikolaevich Churilovski (Russian: Владимир Николаевич Чуриловский; 25 May 1898 in Saint Petersburg – 11 November 1983) was a professor and one of the founders of the Pedagogical School of Applied and Computational Optics. He was a major contributor to Russian science and was awarded with the Order of the Red Star, Order of the Red Banner, among other honors. He was the first dean of the ITMO Department of Optics.

Biography Vladimir Churlovski was born in 1898 into the family of a printing house worker. Churlovski entered the St. Petersburg State University of Communication, but had to leave in his third year as he was not able to pay for his education. After the 1917 Russian Revolution, Churlovski gained admission to the College of Precise Mechanics and Optics. He graduated from the college in 1925 and started his science career. He managed to become the head of the Optical Design Department. At the same time, he was studying a course about the theoretical aspects of optical instrument design in the College of Precise Mechanics and Optics. In 1925 The College of Precise Mechanics and Optics became the Institute for Precise Mechanics and Optics. Churilovski was elected dean and kept this position for 12 years. In 1935 Churlovski became a professor within the Optical Apparatus department. In 1947 he received his doctorate. In 1953 he left his position of dean due to health problems, but continued teaching for 16 years. In 1966 Churlovski was awarded the degree of Honoured Master of Sciences and Engineering. In 1969 Churlovski officially retired, but continued consulting colleagues and only completely retired at the age of 83. Churilovski died in 1983, at the age of 85.

Work Vladimir Churilovski patented over 50 devices and was an author of more than 200 papers. His most well known works were devoted to high order chromatic aberrations and prism system chromaticism.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vladimir Churilovski

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vladimir Churilovski claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, 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 Vladimir Churilovski 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 Vladimir Churilovski 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 Vladimir Churilovski

In research: Vladimir Churilovski appears in physics 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 Vladimir Churilovski 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: Vladimir Churilovski is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1898 births, 1983 deaths, Engineers from Saint Petersburg, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vladimir Churilovski 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.
