After a survey ofthe history of Rabbinic Judaism and Islamic culture, thelife and times of Maimonides will be treated. The science,metaphysics, and philosophy shared by Jews, Christians, andMuslims will be examined using Maimonides' life and hisphilosophical, legal and medical works as implementsof analysis.Prerequisite: HIS 101 or permission of instructor7/5–8/11 29928 MW 5–8 p.m. A110 Pick $1,260PhysicsUndergraduatePHY 112 Calculus-Based Physics I 4.0This is the first part of a three-semester course in introductoryphysics intended for students majoring in the physicalsciences or in engineering.
