PHY 303 - Beginnings of Science: World View
2012-2013 Catalog Year
This course explores the origins and diffusion of the early
scientific ideas and practices that were the necessary foundations
of what came to be known as “Modern Science”. Through case studies
of several different ancient and medieval cultures and
civilizations, we examine the nature of science; the contexts in
which it flourished; the cultural exchanges by which it was
diffused; the reasons for its occasional decline; and its impact on
society.
