Colloquium
The Texas Cake Cutting Massacre: Can conflicts be resolved by making piece?
Edward Burger
Williams College

Can birthday cakes lead to "B" horror films or world peace? Are strong negotiating skills required to share a pie or is it best to avoid all communication? How about a bundt cake? How about the Middle East? Here we will consider these questions and others and, as the icing on the cake, we'll answer some.

No particular mathematical or negotiation skills are required. This talk is open to everyone.
