Every early society wondered about the heavens; the Ancient Greeks started a particularly bold project of finding a physical model of the cosmos and the extraordinary idea of using geometry to explain the heavens. We look at early cosmology and how physical and mathematical arguments developed around Plato, Aristotle and their successors. Evaluation is not available for this course.
