Norman Hodgson Baker, Jr. (1931-2005) was one of the founders of the modern stellar
pulsation theory, president of the Variable Star Commission 27 of the International
Astronomical Union (1982-1985) and editor of Astronomical Journal. He received his
B.A. from the University of Minnesota in 1952 and his Ph.D. in 1959 from Cornell,
where he worked with Philip Morrison on radiation from particle interactions. After
graduating from Cornell, he worked for two years at the Max-Planck-Institut für Physik
und Astrophysik. He worked at Convair Science Research Laboratory in San Diego, and
then at NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies in New York, the Institute for Advanced
Study at Princeton, the Astronomy Dept. at Yale, and the Physics Dept. at NYU. In
1965, he joined the faculty at Columbia, and retired in 2002. He died in 2005.
Notebooks from graduate student courses, covering topics on chemistry, zoology, physics,
mathematics, languages, from Cornell University and the University of Minnesota. Also
includes miscellaneous coursework.
