This is a lecture course covering the important scientific discoveries from the ancient Greeks to the development of modern molecular biology and the human genome project. The course lectures, readings and discussions will develop how science, the scientific method and resulting technology have led to the ascent of humans to their present state of power. Such an ascent has been made possible through the relationship of mathematics and the physical, chemical and biological sciences.

Prerequisite: A college science course, junior standing or consent of the instructor
Meets MSU-Northern General Education Core Natural Sciences (CAT III) requirement but does not meet the laboratory requirement.
