 GZRMnRUQT09.*\n\nThis talk is part of a lecture course. Wait\, don't go! W
 e are very chill: no syllabus\, no exams\, and quality banter. The aim is 
 to give a fairly relaxed overview of the history of science in Europe thro
 ugh the Enlightenment.\n\nThe course presumes no particular or strong scie
 ntific background (it *is* assumed that most of the students are mathmos o
 r equivalent\, but if you are a sociologist\, you can surely emulate mathm
 o behaviour). The focus is more about scientific ideas and styles\, and th
 e historical influences on\, and influences of science on its contemporary
  world. Knowledge of history is also not expected\, but we cannot guarante
 e that you will not obtain some. A good sense of humour is required. For s
 afety reasons\, in-person attendance is only possible for University membe
 rs.\n\nThis year we are not allowed to give the lectures at the Centre for
  Mathematical Sciences. The lectures therefore take place in the "Chemistr
 y of Health Meeting Room":https://hr.ch.cam.ac.uk/files/CoHMeetingRoomMap2

 support the teaching of the history of science.\n\n*Today's topic:* tba
