Do not train children to learning by force and harshness, but direct them to it by what amuses their minds, so that you may be better able to discover with accuracy the peculiar bent of the genius of each.” – Plato.
I'm Robert Talbert, and I'm a mathematics professor at Grand Valley State University in Allendale/Grand Rapids, Michigan. (I do not speak for my employer through the posts on this blog.) I'm into math, technology, and education. I also dig being a husband, dad, Lutheran, musician, fledgling runner, and general overall nerd. I'm committed to having fun with what I do and enjoying the life I've been given.
This is the place for things that don't fit on my math/tech/teaching blog Casting Out Nines or in my Twitter stream @RobertTalbert.
