Would you like to know how Einstein came upon the idea of relativity? Or the story behind Schrödinger’s cat? If so, come to this session and learn how to look for the answers. We are offering an introduction to the resources in the history of physics from ancient times through present. Together, we will look at the wide range of resources, from manuscript collections to electronic databases. Our perspective is historical, so no math background is required.
