The objective is to understand how scientific theories are conceived, verified and accepted or rejected, and to gain some insight into what makes some kinds of ideas and theories scientific and others not.
While the topics are among the most technical and mathematical in science, the course is intended for those who are not primarily studying the sciences, and who may have not very much skill in mathematics.
The course textbooks are Children of Prometheus: A History of Science and Technology, 2nd edition,  James MacLachlan; Glimpses of Reality: Episodes in the History of Science, Byron Wall;  The Double Helix, James D. Watson.

 It takes more than one kind of telescope to see the light
By 1730, Newton's reflecting telescope had caught on with the scientific community.
Such serendipitous events as the GRO storage tape failure often reveal new ways of looking at old science, causing scientists to rethink ideas previously taken for granted.
Although Phillips says an all-wave telescope is not currently a topic of serious discussion in the scientific community, satellites with coordinated telescopes have worked well in the past.

23, 1744, was the most important forerunner of the historical view known as historicism: the idea that history is the key to any science of humanity.
In his Scienza nuova (New Science, 1725, 1730, 1744) and other writings, Vico challenged the preference of Rene Descartes for a natural science of deductive logic based on clear and distinct ideas and challenged as well the notions favored by Thomas Hobbes and Baruch Spinoza of a constant human nature.
Vico stressed that history is the expression of human will and deeds and can therefore provide more certain knowledge about humanity than the natural sciences can.
