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.

the General Education Basic Skills and Knowledge Foundation course
requirements in the Natural Sciences.
