ANCS 350H Topics in Ancient Studies Science, 3 credits
Mathematics, and Technology in the Ancient
World
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This course will
present the major scientific and
mathematical advances made by the ancient
Greeks and Romans. Discoveries in such
diverse fields as medicine and biology,
mathematics and geometry, geography and
astronomy, became the foundations of
intellectual thought in both the Latin
medieval west and in the Arabic east. We
will study these discoveries and
developments within the historical context
of the ancient world. That background -
political, social, and economic - will
provide us with insights into developments
in political science, sociology,
anthropology, psychology, and ethical
philosophy. We will survey traditional
methods of education, the establishment of
"schools" such as Plato's Academy, and the
origins and growth of scientific
institutions such as the Museum and Great
Library at Alexandria. We will also
consider those cultural and religious
factors that promoted or impeded
developments in science. Our texts will
include translations of treatises written
by major scientists and mathematicians of
the Greek and Roman world. We will also
study archaeological evidence for advances
in metallurgy and engineering. Also listed
as HONR300C. Permission required from the
Honors College.

ANCS 351H Topics in Ancient Studies Aristotle and 3 credits
the Verbal Arts
(PermReq) Grade Method: REG/P-F/AUD This seminar
will examine and differentiate the Verbal
Arts or Controls of language: Grammar,
Rhetoric, and Poetics as defined in
Aristotle's "Rhetoric" and "Poetics" and
selections from Plato's "Republic." We
shall exemplify the verbal arts by
studying such works as Jonathan Swift's
essay "A Modest Proposal"; poems such as
Shakespeare's Sonnet 71 and Robert Frost's
"Stopping by Woods..."; and speeches from
ancient and modern times such as Pericles'
"Funeral Oration" and Lincoln's Second
Inaugural Address. We shall consider these
works from practical, aesthetic, and
theoretical perspectives, and we shall
investigate the relationship between
author and audience, the political,
social, and formal significance of poetry,
and the historical and cultural milieu in
which great (and not so great) control of
language is neded. Also listed as HONR
300A. Permission required from the Honors
College.
