Description:

3.00 credits SCN1340 Biodiversity and the Environment 3.0 Credits Foundation Liberal Arts This course will introduce students to the fundamentals of how nature operates. We will discuss the basic principles of biology, chemistry and physics as they relate to the natural world, focusing on the physical environment, the organisms in it, and how they interact. Interestingly, nature uses many of the same basic principles found in economics, so we will explore the role of economic theory in explaining how organisms function within an environment at scales ranging from the individual organism up to ecosystems and the entire biosphere. We will also discuss the role of humans in nature. Pre-req NONE
