Science, Magic and Religion

science and religion as historical phenomena that have evolved over time, Examines the earlier mind-set before 1700 when into science fitted elements that came eventually to be seen as magical, how Western cosmologies became "disenchanted", Magical tradition transformed into modern mysticisms, political implications, discussion concerning science in totalitarian settings as well as "big science" during Cold War
 

Online Course in Science Journalism

major practical and conceptual issues in science journalism (how to find and research stories, exposing false claims, how to pitch to an editor, turning crisis reporting to advantage), topics that are relevant to beginners in journalism as well as more experienced reporters and editors in all regions of the world

Galileo and Einstein

explores two revolutions in perception of the universe, Galileo (realization that what we see in the heavens—the moon, the planets, the sun and stars—are physical objects), Einstein (space and time are not as straightforward as they first appear, but related to each other in a simple but unexpected way)

Interactive Science Simulations

interactive, research-based simulations of physical phenomena: ongoing effort to provide extensive suite of simulations to improve the way that physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and math are taught and learned

Introduction to Modeling and Simulation

continuum methods, atomistic and molecular simulation (e.g. molecular dynamics) as well as quantum mechanics

Advanced Analytic Methods in Science and Engineering

comprehensive treatment of the advanced methods of applied mathematics: series solutions of linear homogeneous ODE, WKB method, asymptotic expansion of integrals, boundary layer theory, small non-linear oscillations
