Toward the Quadrivium

A Classical Conversation with James Nickel, Mitch Stokes, and Leigh Bortins

* All tickets are non-refundable.

In the past 15 years, Classical Conversations has worked hard to understand the skills associated with the Trivium (grammar, dialectic, and rhetoric). However, the Trivium is only the beginning of a classical education. After students master the Trivium, they should progress to the Quadrivium, the pursuit of science, mathematics, and music. Beginning in 2011, Classical Conversations has launched an annual one-day conference to help parents and educators examine the Quadrivium.
Please join us this year in Cincinnati, OH on March 10 for this exciting event! Speakers include James Nickel, author of Mathematics: Is God Silent?, Mitch Stokes, author of biographies on Newton and Galileo, and Leigh Bortins, author of The Core: Teaching Your Child the Foundations of a Classical Education.

Its implications for a right understanding of abstract mathematics, especially the abstract nature of Greek geometry. The Incarnation requires that we refocus our thoughts about the nature of mathematical abstractions. This refocus will change how we understand mathematics, including the content and method of teaching mathematics.
