The lesson content for this course will be available in early October. An announcement will be made when you can begin the course.
This course will trace the development of man’s understanding of motion and gravitation, starting with the earliest astronomical observations of pre-Greek civilizations, and culminating in the achievements of Isaac Newton. How did mankind progress from a state of total ignorance about the stars, planets, Sun, and Moon to our first scientific understanding of these bodies and the laws that govern their behavior? No prerequisites or background in physics are required. This 20-unit course is separated into two parts. This is part 1 (units 1-10).
