Целью пособия является формирование коммуникативных навыков в рамках разговорных тем «Что такое наука?», «История науки», «Наш институт» и «Моя специальность». Последние две темы входят в перечень заданий экзамена по ино- странному языку. Поскольку коммуникативный компонент государственного экзамена по иностран- ному языку требует умения ориентироваться в проблемах своей специальности, выражать суждения, касающиеся теоретических и практических вопросов, то в данное пособие включены разнообразные задания, позволяющие закрепить грамматические навыки, по- полнить лексический запас специальной лексикой, научной терминологией, сформировать навыки письменной речи, совершенствовать навыки публичного выступления и т.д. Кроме того, в пособие включены тексты по специальностям факультета для допол- нительного чтения, что позволяет развить навыки различных видов чтения (ознакоми- тельного, изучающего, поискового и просмотрового). Тексты могут быть использованы в качестве материала для индивидуальной работы (чтение, написание аннотаций, пересказ и т.д.), источников для написания докладов при подготовке к участию в научно- практической конференции студентов. В структуру данного учебного пособия входят четыре урока. Урок 1 – What is Sci- ence? включает различные тексты о науке, сфецифике научного исследования, а также тесты, на основании которых студенты могут оценить общие знания по физике, химии и другим дисциплинам, овладеть терминами, развить навыки говорения и т.д. В уроке 2 – History of Science представлены задания, направленные на развитие на- выков различных видов чтения, написания докладов и обсуждения информации в группах. Прилагаются также тесты на знание фактов из истории развития науки в России и зарубе- жом. Урок 3 – Our Institute знакомит студентов с Бийским технологическим институтом, система заданий направлена на пополнение словарного запаса по теме, а также на разви- тие навыков диалогической речи, построения монологического высказывания. В уроке 4 – My Speciality and Profession студенты знакомятся со специальностями института, обсуждают актуальность и преимущество их професиии, знакомятся с разли- чиями в профессиональной сфере в других странах, обсуждают спорные вопросы и строят монологические высказывания о своей професиии. В структуре учебного пособия также представлены дополнительные тексты для чтения. Основная тематика текстов – это величайшие ученые и их достижения. 4 UNIT 1 WHAT IS SCIENCE? Задание 1. Используя информацию, дайте определение слова «наука». Many of us do not know the definition of science. Before reading about it let’s try to de- fine this term. The word “science” comes from Latin word “scientia“, which means “knowledge“. Science refers to a system of acquiring knowledge. The term science implies orga- nized knowledge obtained from the observation of the animals and materials around us. This specialized information has been enriching human knowledge. In fact, knowledge of the unknown universe is science. So this system uses observation and experimentation to de- scribe and explain natural phenomena. The term science also refers to the organized body of knowledge people have gained using that system. In a word we can say that science is a system- atic enterprise that builds and organizes knowledge in the form of testable explanations and pre- dictions about the universe. At present, “science” most often refers to a way of pursuing scien- tific knowledge, not only the knowledge but also often restricted to those branches of study that seek to explain the phenomena of the material universe. by Mohi Uddin Задание 2.

  • THE STUDY of SATURN's RINGS 1 Thesis Presented for the Degree Of
    1 THE STUDY OF SATURN'S RINGS 1610-1675, Thesis presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Field of History of Science by Albert Van Haden Department of History of Science and Technology Imperial College of Science and Teohnology University of London May, 1970 2 ABSTRACT Shortly after the publication of his Starry Messenger, Galileo observed the planet Saturn for the first time through a telescope. To his surprise he discovered that the planet does.not exhibit a single disc, as all other planets do, but rather a central disc flanked by two smaller ones. In the following years, Galileo found that Sa- turn sometimes also appears without these lateral discs, and at other times with handle-like appendages istead of round discs. These ap- pearances posed a great problem to scientists, and this problem was not solved until 1656, while the solution was not fully accepted until about 1670. This thesis traces the problem of Saturn, from its initial form- ulation, through the period of gathering information, to the final stage in which theories were proposed, ending with the acceptance of one of these theories: the ring-theory of Christiaan Huygens. Although the improvement of the telescope had great bearing on the problem of Saturn, and is dealt with to some extent, many other factors were in- volved in the solution of the problem. It was as much a perceptual problem as a technical problem of telescopes, and the mental processes that led Huygens to its solution were symptomatic of the state of science in the 1650's and would have been out of place and perhaps impossible before Descartes.

  • Lost Discoveries: the Ancient Roots of Modern Science--From The
    V COVER e Ancient .Roots oi JVLoaern ocience from the Babvl s to the May DICK TERES U.S. $27.00 Can. $41.00 Lost Discoveries, DickTeresi s innovative history of science, explores the unheralded scientific breakthroughs from peoples of the ancient world— Babylonians, Egyptians, Indians, Africans, New World and Oceanic tribes, among others—and the non-European medieval world. They left an enormous heritage in the fields of mathematics, astronomy, cosmology, physics, geology, chemistry, and technology. The mathematical foundation of Western science is a gift from the Indians, Chinese, Arabs, Babylonians, and Maya. The ancient Egyptians developed the concept of the lowest common denominator, and they developed a fraction table that modern scholars estimate required 28,000 calculations to compile. The Babylonians developed the first written math and used a place-value number system. Our numerals, 0 through 9, were invented in ancient India; the Indians also boasted geometry, trigonometry, and a kind of calculus. Planetary astronomy as well may have begun with the ancient Indians, who correctly identified the relative distances of the known planets from the sun, and knew the moon was nearer to the earth than the sun was. The Chinese observed, reported, dated, recorded, and inter­ preted eclipses between 1400 and 1200 B.C. Most of the names of our stars and constellations are Arabic. Arabs built the first observatories. Five thousand years ago, the Sumerians said the earth was circular. In the sixth century, a Hindu astronomer taught that the daily rotation of the earth on its axis provided the rising and setting of the sun.

Perspectives on Man’s Historic Accomplishments 1 Art 4 2 Conquerors 8 3 Engineering Feats 15 4 Inventions 36 5 Literature 40 6 Mathematics 42 7 Medicine 45 8 Music 47 9 Philosophy 53 10 Religion 57 11 Science 60 12 Women 64 2 Introduction In 2010 I wrote a paper, “What in the World Happened? - Perspectives on the History of Man,” that reviewed the history of the world, particularly mankind’s history, with the objective of understanding what was happening in various parts of the world in different civilizations during the same time periods. I printed a few spiral-bound copies of this paper for my family and a few friends and posted an electronic version on my website, ringbrothershistory.com, to share with whoever else might be interested. I found the project to be fascinating and very educational. Eight years later, I’m following the same path with this paper, “What in the World Happened? - Perspectives on Man’s Accomplishments.” This paper builds on the foundation of “History of Man” to focus on “Man’s Accomplishments,” trying to identify the absolute best, most important, influential, and enduring of Man’s accomplishments in several categories, discussed in alphabetical order: “art,” “conquerors,” “engineering feats,” “inventions,” “literature,” “mathematics,” “medicine,” “music,” “philosophy,” “religion,” and “science,” with a special category of “women’s accomplishments”. My selection criteria for these categories included: independence, scope, and distribution over a long span of history - dominated by author (me) interest.
