Role of mathematics in Sciences
- achieving a formal structure of perception
- overvoming intuition
- driving force of theory development
Thermodynamics and time direction: How you get surprisingly reliable results about the properties of systems composed of an unimaginable number of particles and what follows from the statistical nature of the description
Space, time, spacetime; two revolutions of thinking and methodical questions:
Relativity, Cosmology
Genetics: Where is the information about life situated, how it is codified, how it works and what about the consequences
Additional topic for self study 'Age determination by radiocarbon method' supported by text in Moodle and an Excursion offer (VERA, Vienna Environmental Research Accelerator)Interactions
VO: We will consider the history of sciences chronologically, emphasizing the modern times (from the 16th to the 20th century), with a special focus on social interactions
SE: We discuss case studies in the history of the sciences to deepen the understanding of science in its historical, philosophical and cultural contexts.
