Jim Calder introduced the speaker, Tyler Jarvis, son of fellow Rotarian Don Jarvis. Tyler is former chair of the BYU Department of Mathematics. He served a number of years ago as a young missionary in the Germany Munich mission when Rotarian Vic Ludlow was president.

Tyler presented an entertaining program about mathematics. He told of a company that came to BYU wanting to interview eighty (80) STEM (science, technology, economics and mathematics) students. Only eight (8) wanted to interview. He observed that the attitudes of teachers make MUCH difference in the learning process.
