NS 310 Science of Color
This course is designed for non-science majors, so basic concepts in physics and chemistry will be introduced within the course. This course will explore the fundamental relationships between color and light; interactions of light with various substances; and how color is specified, described, and measured. This course will have a special emphasis on the chemistry of common dyes and pigments. Students will study the ways in which color occurs in the natural world (animal, vegetable, and mineral) and will realize global interdependence through the study of diversity in natural resources and technological capabilities throughout the world. Students will explore the way the interconnectedness of our diverse world provides for changes in color science through the development of synthetic sources of color and other related technologies.
