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 in the
course. 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, and ethical philosophy. 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 created. Also listed as
HONR300B. Permission Required from the
Honors College.
