摘要:This seminar will focus on Albert Einstein's book, Out of My Later Years, which consists of fifty-nine short articles written by Einstein in 1936. His book is an invitation to discover the scientist, philosopher, and the man portrayed through Einstein's own words. Einstein's meticulous logical thinking expressed through an accurate and elegant writing style makes it a leading case for academic writing. We will study the chapter entitled "Science" (pages 41-119) and identify features, techniques, and elements of writing that can be applied to academic writing. We highly recommend the attendees to read the chapter before the seminar. No scientific knowledge is required, since we will not discuss the scientific aspect of his work.
