Dividing a Cake or an Inheritance Fairly

Finish the course by learning how to divide goods fairly among different numbers of people. Find that cutting a cake into mutually acceptable pieces is a problem that generalizes to many situations in life. Then tackle another approach to apportioning assets (or liabilities) that uses a geometric technique, once again proving that mathematics is the route to satisfaction in many spheres of life!
