| Course Description |
| |
|
|
| This course examines natural sciences and the use
of computers and computer technology in the natural |
| sciences through bioinformatics.
The course also introduces ethical and social issues related
to technology, |
| including issues of access, equity, privacy,
and ownership of intellectual property. |
| |
|
|
| A goal of this course is the aid in understanding the tools
and methods of the natural sciences, learning |
| some of the important results of scientific inquiry, and
discussing some major consequences of science and |
| technology. To meet this goal, we will discuss the
scientific method as applied within the natural sciences, |
| and explore the underlying
philosophy of science, as well as the social and
historical context of scientific |
| development. |
|
|
| |
|
|
| The biology of information and the relation
of information to computer science, technology, and |
| human society is an evolving area
of active research. The past outcomes of this work include
all of modern |
| data communications networks; the future areas include all
new modes of computation and understanding |
| of the natural world (which is the primary
topic area of all of natural science).
The level of this course |
| will not require any advanced mathematics, but will rely on
descriptive concepts. |
