What is Science?

Science is one of the broadest and most foundational subjects in academic writing, spanning disciplines from biology and physics to psychology, history, and philosophy. Students encounter science-related writing assignments across general education courses, specialized STEM programs, and humanities classes that examine how scientific thinking intersects with culture, religion, and society. What makes science academically compelling is its dual role as both a body of knowledge and a method of inquiry — a process through which humans build understanding of the natural and social world. Papers in this area frequently engage with questions about technology and responsibility, the relationship between science and religion, and the social implications of scientific advancement.

The papers collected here reflect a wide range of approaches. Some take an evaluative angle, weighing the advantages and disadvantages of science and technology or examining how scientific progress affects cultural beliefs and values. Others focus on specific applications, such as DNA profiling, geoinformatics, or celestial navigation. Historical and contextual analyses appear as well, including work on the Italian Renaissance as a period of scientific transformation. Certain papers move into adjacent fields like criminal psychopathology and classic social psychology experiments, showing how scientific frameworks shape disciplines beyond the hard sciences.

A strong essay on science succeeds by narrowing its scope to a clear, arguable thesis rather than attempting to survey the entire field. Evidence drawn from specific processes, case studies, or established theories tends to carry more weight than broad generalizations. The most common pitfall is conflating description with analysis — simply explaining what science is rather than arguing why a particular aspect of it matters, how it functions, or what consequences it produces.

Digital Signature Schemes: Cryptography and Factorization

The objective of this study is to discuss an issue in cryptography or computer security. Digital signatures are described as "an analog of handwritten signatures" which are based on "the physically idiosyncratic way of signing one's name. But they can be easily forged." (Grabbe, 1998) The digital signature is "a mathematical method of attaching one's identity to a message" and is held to be more difficult to forge than a handwritten signature." (Grabbe, 1998) Public key cryptography is used for digital signatures and is such that uses two keys: (1) Take an ordinary plain-text message and apply one of the keys to it in an encryption process, and you end up with a scrambled or "encrypted" (or, in the current context, "signed") message; and (2) Apply the other key to the scrambled message in a decryption process, and you end up with the original plain-text message. (Grabbe, 1998)
