Alan Dana Taylor (born October 27, 1947) is an American mathematician who, with Steven Brams, solved the problem of envy-free cake-cutting for an arbitrary number of people with the Brams–Taylor procedure.

Taylor received his Ph.D. in 1975 from Dartmouth College.[2]

He currently is the Marie Louise Bailey professor of mathematics at Union College, in Schenectady, New York.

gollark: The PinePhone will possibly be able to run Android apps via an emulator.

gollark: To be fair though, the actual apps aren't electron, they're... react native?

gollark: i. e. a bloated browser with some native interfaces.

gollark: I basically want a browser, calling and texts, so meh.

gollark: My current phone is dying and the battery is not replaceable, so I will probably try and obtain a pinephone if they ship to the UK.
