Title: What is the average area of the shadow of a cube?
Abstract: Imagine a cube in space, with a light shining on it so that it casts a shadow. As we move the cube around, the shadow changes. What is the average area of the shadow?
The talk will answer this and related geometric questions. The method is a bit surprising : we will generalize the problem until it solves itself!
