Designed particularly for philosophy students and others in the liberal arts and humanities; however, STEM students may find the course useful in its logical analysis of the structure of scientific methodology. Physical ideas of three significant eras: ancient Greece; the beginnings of modern science from the 17th to 18th centuries, including the thinking of Copernicus, Galileo and Newton; and the revolutionary ideas of early 20th century and contemporary physics. Course is designed to be conceptual, rather than mathematical, in its investigation of the great ideas of physics.
