Cynthia Vinzant, NC State, Slicing Space

January 25, 2018 | 4:30 pm - 5:30 pm EST

Suppose we lazily slice up the SUM series pizza. How many pieces can we make with just a few slices? What if we had a watermelon? Together we will try to answer this prob- lem and explore some of the beautiful geometry behind it. No background will be assumed and this talk should be ac- cessible to all undergraduates. If theres time we can try to slice some four-dimensional cake.
