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
presents the major scientific and
mathematical advances made by the ancient
Greeks and Romans. Those advances in such
diverse fields as medicine and biology,
mathematics and geometry, astronomy and
geography, became the foundations of
intellectual thought in both the Latin
west and the Arabic east. Texts will
include translations of treatises by major
scientists of the Greek and Roman World.
The archaeological evidence for ancient
technology will also be included. We will
study these discoveries and developments
within the historical context of the
ancient world. That background- political,
social and economic - will provide
insights into developments in political
science, anthropology, psychology, and
ethical philosophy. We will examine
traditional methods of education, the
establishment of intellectual "schools"
such as Plato's Academy and of scientific
institutions such as the Museum and the
Great Library at Alexandria. We will also
consider those cultural and religious
factors that promoted or impeded
developments in science. Also listed as
HONR 300D.
