His dissertation advisor was Athanassios G. Kartsatos, who bears some inspiration for this paper, thanks to the many trips to CDB's Pizza and Italian Restaurant that he so generously funded. The Cheese Pizza Theorem is but a partial repayment. Since grad school, Rick has spent most of his waking (and dreaming) hours doing and teaching mathematics at LSUS, photographing wildlife on Sand Beach Bayou, creating absurd computer graphics, and playing drums with various local rock, blues, country, Cajun, bluegrass, and (most recently) big band jazz groups.Paul DeiermannPAUL DEIERMANN received his B.A. and B.S. degrees from the University of Missouri-St. Louis and his Ph.D. from Washington University in St. Louis under James A. Jenkins. Besides eating pizza with his lovely Greek wife Eleni and playing with children Maria and Joseph, he likes to play pool, move big rocks, and exercise. He thanks his parents for their lifelong support and encouragement.
