Research:
Frank Tall specializes in set theory and set-theoretic topology, fields in which
he has authored more than 60 papers. Of his 12 Ph.D. students, 9 are on university
faculties: Indianapolis, Toronto, York (3), McMaster, P.E.I., São Paulo (2). His
postdocs are at universities such as Winnipeg, Toronto, Trent, Haifa, Ohio, Calgary,
and McMaster.
In addition to mathematics, he is interested in the psychology of teaching
and learning, complementary medicine and speech-processing. He is a certified
Master Practitioner of Neurolinguistic Programming, is trained in hypnotherapy,
a Reiki Master and has published in Nursing Science.
