Phy 105 and 106 constitute a course on Science for the Twentyfirst Century offered at Syracuse University to freshmen class of Non Science majors |
These screendumps come from a set of Web based course material developed by the physics department in a team led by Professor G. Vidali |
The electronic version is at The Multimedia Modules Prepared for Science for the 21st Century Introductory course for nonscience majors prepared by Physics department with the SETI module at the SETI(Search for ExtraTerrestial Intelligence) Module prepared for Science for the 21st Century |
Other Professors include S.Catterall,M.Goldberg,E.Lipson and A.Middleton |
Graduate student Marco Falcioni played a major role |
Modules include Search for ExtraTerrestial Intelligence, Mind and Machines and PseudoScience and the Paranormal |
