Culture of Chemistry
0.1 Origin of
Science
The origin of
science in Greece, or was it Africa (Egypt) and Mesopotamia?
0.2 Beginning
of Europe
European civilization
and science begins about 1400
0.3 Culture of
Science
Very different
from everyday American/European
0.4 Progress
How far have
we come? How far have we to go? Can we quantify progress?
