Frank Tall

Title/Position
Professor Emeritus (MAT)
Mathematical and Computational Sciences

Professor Tall was born in the U.S.A. and obtained his B.A. from Harvard in 1964 and his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 1969. He has been at the University of Toronto ever since, but has held visiting positions at Dartmouth University, Sichuan University, University of Sao Paulo, and Osaka Prefecture University.

Professor Tall's mathematical research centers on applications of set theory to topology. He has published numerous papers in this area and trained many doctoral and postdoctoral students.
