I'm saying do M-x calendar, see the three months at the bottom half of
the screen.  At this point I want the < and > keys to go to the
previous and future three months respectively.

That is, in the default key assignments
"<" should also do scroll-calendar-right-three-months
">" should also do scroll-calendar-left-three-months

1. Those commands are already bound by default to M-v/C-v and
    <prior>/<next>, and you can also get the same effect from
    M-3 C-x < and M-3 C-x >.

2. Who's to say the scrolling commands are the best commands to bind to
    < and >?  (Note that calendar-beginning-of-year and
    calendar-end-of-year are bound to M-< and M->.)  Why do the < and >
    keys need to be bound?

3. DIY:

(add-hook 'calendar-load-hook
           (lambda ()
             (define-key calendar-mode-map "<"
               'scroll-calendar-right-three-months)
             (define-key calendar-mode-map ">"
               'scroll-calendar-left-three-months)))
