SBU 102 Section 153 How the Ancient Greeks Measured the Heavens (Fridays 2:00PM-3:20PM; January 25 to
April 9)
We will take a tour through some of the mathematics of the ancient Hellenic world,
focusing on deductions as to the shape of the world and scale/distance to neighboring
objects in the solar system. This will take us through works of Aristotle, Pythagoras,
Eratosthenes, Apollonius, Archimedes, Aristarchus among others. Along with following
their methods, we will present a more modern spin on both the proofs and questions.
The course is intended for a broad audience, with basic knowledge of geometry and
algebra (for understanding original arguments), and calculus (used for a modern perspective).
EUR 447.01 Directed Readings in European Studies
The course will focus on Greek history, from Ancient times to now, aimed to understand
how this history has shaped Modern Greece, greek customs, and some of the ways of
life. We will also read Greek Fairytales (Παραμύθια) in simplified Greek which will
also give us insight into traditions and customs. Email Stella Tsirka to enroll. Schedule TBD.
