Chapters

[c1] "Fair Division," a chapter for the Companion Website accompanying Blitzer's Thinking Mathematically, Prentice Hall, 2000. Note: As a result of an unknown error, only the first portion of the chapter currently appears on the website, instead of the complete chapter. The publisher has been notified and is looking into the matter.
