Steven Brams's Biography
Steven J. Brams (born November 28, 1940) is a game theorist and political scientist at the New York University department of politics. Brams is best known for using the techniques of game theory and public choice to research voting systems and fair division. He is one of the independent discoverers of approval voting. Also, he was a co-discoverer, with Alan Taylor of the first envy-free solution to the n-person cake cutting problem.(1) Previous to the Brams-Taylor solution, the cake cutting problem had been one of the most important open problems in contemporary mathematics.(2) In 2006 with others he devised an optimal alternative to the ancient procedure of divide and choose.(3)
