Chaos: Connecting Science and the Humanities

Journal of College Science Teaching -- January/February 2005

In this article, we learn about a team-taught course entitled Chaos in Science and Literature. The goals of the course were to place science in a nontechnological context, emphasizing its intellectual and cultural aspects, and to provide a forum for the exchange of ideas between “scientists” and “humanists,” with the authors serving as role models.
