| Title of Talk | What Does It Mean to Have a Vocation in Mathematics? |
| Abstract | "Vocation" can be a confusing and even divisive word, but at Loras College, we take the term to mean finding your life's purpose or your way of seeking the common good for society. How can mathematics help our students find purpose and meaning in life? Do our students see mathematics as a way of seeking the common good? Do we? How do we cultivate a sense of mathematical vocation in our students? How do we grow in our own mathematical vocation and share it with our students? |
