Reference excerpt

Zhao Liang is a circus performer from Henan in China. In April 2009, doctors in Tianjin measured his height at 2.46 m (8 ft 1 in). If confirmed, this would make him the second tallest living person after Sultan Kösen, but taller than previous record holder Bao Xishun who has been measured by the Guinness World Records as 2.36 m (7 ft 9 in). Leonid Stadnyk, reported to be 2.57 m (8 ft 5 in) tall, briefly held the title, but was disqualified due to his refusal to be measured. Zhao played basketball until he sustained ligament damage to his left foot in 2001. His 2009 hospital trip was related to this injury as he was too poor to have it treated sooner. He suffers from gigantism. Despite advising Zhao Liang against any intense physical exercise, Zhao's surgeon has declared that he has no health issues related to his height. His parents and siblings are average height. He was unemployed until 2006, when he joined a circus in Jilin province. Though recruited for his height, he now also does magic tricks and plays the saxophone and cucurbit flute.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Zhao Liang (circus performer)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Zhao Liang (circus performer) 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 Zhao Liang (circus performer) 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 Zhao Liang (circus performer) 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 Zhao Liang (circus performer)

In research: Zhao Liang (circus performer) 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 Zhao Liang (circus performer) 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: Zhao Liang (circus performer) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1982 births, 21st-century circus performers, Chinese circus performers, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Zhao Liang (circus performer) 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.
