ILR337 Music Appreciation from a
Historical Perspective
6 sessions, 12 hours
What is that music? Have you ever wondered why different
time periods have different styles of music or why you listen and
enjoy certain types of music? In this course, we will have a quick
overview of critical time periods and the music that resulted
from (or triggered) the events of that time. You may find that
your current ideas change or that beliefs about music that you
have always held are correct.

ILR466 Dark Energy, Dark Matter:
Part 2
7 sessions, 14 hours
We used to think that if you can’t see or measure something,
there was nothing there. Modern thinking and great
technological advances have shown that there is far more to
the Universe than what we can see and measure. Vera Rubin,
an astronomer associated with the Carnegie Institute, showed
that galaxies rotated in a way that was at odds with the accepted
laws of motion. This led to the introduction of “Dark Matter”,
a substance that can neither be measured or observed directly.
Similarly, the observed phenomenon that the galaxies are
not only rushing away from us, but are doing so at an ever
increasing rate, has led to the acceptance of a new component
in the Universe called Dark Energy. Learn more about this
mysterious part of our Universe this spring. No technical or
mathematical background necessary.
Instructor:
Bob Rubock graduated with a BS in
Electrical Engineering from Rensselaer and a Master
of Science in Electrical Engineer from the University of
Connecticut. He began his career in electronic warfare
at United Aircraft but eventually turned to design of
spacecraft for humanitarian purposes at NASA. Bob likes
to say; “Engineering made the dough, Cosmology makes
me go.” His courses require no math or formal scientific
training, but a good sense of humor is mandatory. Bob
believes that starting a class with good jokes improves
the learning process. Bob’s other passion is rock climbing,
having traveled around the U.S. and Europe in its pursuit.
