Course Objective and Content
| Course Objectives: | Students who are successful in this course, without any knowledge of physics or mathematics (and geometry), have been purposed to be introduced the history of cosmology theories in chronological order, which is an important part of the history of science and to make them realize how the human thought and belief structures have evolved in this process, as well as their practical skills. In this sense, the aim of this course is to make them comprehend the basis of current issues about cosmology and the point it has reached, and to make students curious about scientific thinking and research. |
| Course Content: | They understand how humanity's way of thinking astronomy and later cosmology evolved, starting with prehistoric civilizations. With this knowledge, they see in a general chronology how practical applications such as religion and mainly the calendar, and then scientific developments of each period (with knowledge of mathematics / geometry and physics) are used for questions and solutions about the Universe. Meanwhile, they get simple information about prehistoric and post-historical civilizations and get to know scientists and thinkers. |
Learning Outcomes
|
The students who have succeeded in this course;
1) Explains the emergence and development of information about cosmology in the prehistoric and post-historical period in general terms. 2) outlines basic popular knowledge about the history of cosmology and contemporary theories. |
