HISTORY C182A explores these fundamental questions, examining the evolution of science and technology across different historical periods. Topics include the rise of science in modernity, intersections between science, magic, religion, and art, the forces driving technological change, and the social and historical contexts that shape innovation.

By the end of this course, students will develop a deeper understanding of how science and technology influence the way we live and how they are, in turn, shaped by historical and social factors.
