dc.description.abstract	In this snapshot, we introduce the study of slices of polytopes – geometric shapes with flat sides – and examine the area of these slices. This is connected to combinatorics and polynomials and is surprisingly complex, even in three dimensions. Since we are greedy humans, we conclude by finding the largest possible slice of cheese.	en_US
