Speaker: Mike Paterson (DIMAP and Computer Science, Univ. Warwick, UK)
Title: Geometric dissection problems
Abstract: 
I shall introduce several dissection problems, which involve cutting and 
rearranging simple geometric shapes. In particular I will concentrate on 
recent results which involve packing sectors of a circular disc inside a 
smaller circle, and explain in detail some of  the constructions and 
techniques needed. Some very open problems remain!
