ISC: An Integrated, Quantitative Introduction to the Natural Sciences at Princeton University
Invited
Abstract
The Integrated Science Curriculum (ISC) at Princeton is an integrated, mathematically and computationally sophisticated introduction to physics and chemistry, drawing on examples from biological systems. This year long, four course sequence is a multi-disciplinary course taught across multiple departments and intended for students considering a career in science. Briefly, ISC teaches introductory Physics, Chemistry, Molecular Biology and Computer Science in an integrated setting through a combination of lectures, precepts, and laboratory exercises. The 2018-19 academic year represents our fifteenth year teaching the course and I will present a progress report on how the program has evolved over time.
