Physics on Broadway

ORAL

Abstract

Over the last twenty years, several plays have been produced which deal with science and science related material. These plays provide excellent opportunities to get students in the humanities interested, and possibly even excited, in varioius ideas of science. I will discuss my use of these materials in a History and Philosophy of Science class aimed at students in the humanities.
