About the author

Harold (Hal) Schoen grew up with 12 siblings on a small farm in west-central Ohio in the 1940s and ‘50s. Thanks to a basketball scholarship to the University of Dayton, he became the first in his extended family to earn a college degree. Upon completing the necessary graduate education, he spent 34 years as a jointly appointed Professor of Mathematics and Education. He is author of high school and beginning college mathematics textbooks, the Iowa Algebra Aptitude Test, and many professional papers. Growing Up is his first attempt at writing for a more general audience.
