PHYS 135 - Masterpiece Physics

Institution:

University of San Francisco

Subject:

Description:

While their methods may differ radically, artists and scientists share the drive to investigate the ways in which disparate pieces of Nature fit together. This course will attempt to bridge those seemingly distinct worlds, using art and music to present physics and mathematics. Within a background of artistic masterpieces, we will explore sound, light, color, and how the brain perceives them. We'll dissect musical instruments, photographic cameras, and paintings. We will also learn to discern mathematical structures within pieces of artistic expression.
