Foundation Course: Principles and Practice of Science: Science in everyday life
Science entails the systematic pursuit of knowledge, which essentially involves unbiased observations and multiple methods of validation. Science gives us the ability to understand how our world works and how we interact with our physical surroundings. It not only incorporates basic ideas and theories about how our universe behaves but it also provides a framework for learning more and tackling new questions and concerns that come our way. Science enables you to integrate with your surroundings, both living and non-living. Scientific principles and methods are being used in our daily life at every moment. Learning these principles, methods and practice helps us to cope with our daily life and approach the problems in a logical way. It also helps us to embark on a detailed study of sciences if someone chooses.
The course narrates some of the key historical, philosophical, theoretical and technical developments in the evolution of the sciences and offers a synoptic view of the scientific principles that we face in our daily life.
