HIS 131 - History of Science


This is an interdisciplinary course that explores science through the medium of history. It allows one to look at science from the perspective of an outsider -much as a political scientist studies politics or an anthropologist explores indigenous cultures. At the same time, the student gains knowledge about where we are today, and how we got here in our understanding of the structure of the universe, atomic theory, energy, motion, evolution by natural selection, and space and time. 
NOTE: This course is also offered as PHS 131 . Students may register for PHS 131   or HIS 131 but not both. 
Prerequisite(s): None; ENG 102  recommended
