HIST 30623 History of Science
This is a multidisciplinary examination of the history of science beginning with the earliest written record and extending through the end of the twentieth century. In addition to addressing the key figures and seminal events in the evolution of physics, chemistry, biology, and medicine, the course will deal with the evolution of the scientific method and with epistemological issues and challenges faced by current and former scientists. We will also address the relationship between those challenges and current controversies in science and society. (US or EU)
