What is math? How exactly does it work? And what do three siblings
trying to share a cake have to do with it? In How to Bake Pi, math
professor Eugenia Cheng provides an accessible introduction to the
logic and beauty of mathematics, powered, unexpectedly, by insights
from the kitchen. We learn how the bechamel in a lasagna can be a
lot like the number five, and why making a good custard proves that
math is easy but life is hard. At the heart of it all is Cheng's
work on category theory, a cutting-edge "mathematics of
mathematics," that is about figuring out how math works. Combined
with her infectious enthusiasm for cooking and true zest for life,
Cheng's perspective on math is a funny journey through a vast
territory no popular book on math has explored before. So, what is
math? Let's look for the answer in the kitchen.
