SCIE 110 History of Science


Science is best understood when studied through the lens of its history and its biography. By examining not only the contributions and scientific breakthroughs but also the lives of people like Copernicus, Galileo, Newton, Faraday, Darwin, and Einstein we discover the richness of the humanity of science that is often ignored. The historical approach also enables us to witness the dynamic intersection between science and technology, art and humanities, war, politics and religion. Topics include the Copernican, Newtonian and Einstein view of the universe as well as milestones such as Darwin’s theory of evolution, and the discoveries of the nucleus, X-rays and radioactivity.
