SCI/405	History of Science	ICS
This course provides a broad overview of the development of science from its earliest roots through the 15th century. Beginning with the prehistoric origins of science, the course proceeds through the science of ancient Egypt, Mesopotamia, Greece, and Rome and the science of medieval Islam and Christendom. The course will address science in antiquity through the Middle Ages from a philosophical, religious, and institutional perspective. Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to recognize the nature of early scientific achievements and their conceptual and institutional origins; to understand how these achievements were related to each other and to other cultural currents, particularly in philosophy and religion; and to appreciate how transformations in scientific thought drastically changed views of nature and humankind's place in nature.
