Another title: Physics and Chemistry, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
An introduction to the principles of physics and chemistry with emphasis on the historical development of scientific concepts and their significance both to our understanding of the physical universe and to contemporary society.
The extent of the universe, motion, causes of motion, energy; properties of matter, states of matter, basic chemistry, the periodic table; electricity, currents, fields, magnetism; radiation, optics, atomic structure, subatomic chemistry, chemical forces, organic chemistry.
Illustrations of basic principles will be taken from biochemistry, biophysics, geology, and astronomy. The laboratory part of the course is designed to show how scientists gain new knowledge and to point out the difficulties inherent in the use of apparatus. 3 lectures, 2 hours laboratory, alternate weeks.
