Introduction to the History of Science
HSTC1200.06X/Y
This class is a broad introductory survey of the central developments in the history of science, open to first and higher level students whatever their fields, and may be an introduction to further study in the history of science.
DESCRIPTION
This class examines the most revolutionary figures from the Greeks to the modern period. The work of each of these had such a profound influence upon their own era and upon subsequent times. Students in the Arts and Humanities will find this class clarifies the nature of science and its cultural importance while students in the Sciences will recognize that their contributions have been permanently woven into the fabric we call the Modern World. In uncovering the sources and character of each of these transformations in the theory and practice of science, the class will challenge conventional views about the nature and place of science in the West.
