Specifications
Möbius bagels, Euclid's flourless chocolate cake and apple pi - this is mathematics, but not as you know it. In How to Bake Pi, mathematical explorer and star baker Eugenia Cheng has created a delightful collection of insightful knowledge ranging from basic arithmetic to category theory ('the mathematics of mathematics'), through Fermat, Poincaré, and Riemann.
Mathematics is much more than simultaneous equations and pr2: it is an incredibly powerful tool for thinking about the world around us. Once you learn how to think mathematically, you will never think about anything - cake, cream, bagel, or doughnut, let alone custard, kitchen clutter, and Yorkshire puddings - the same way again.
Filled with engaging puzzles and a generous dose of humor and charm, How to Bake Pi is a foolproof recipe for a mathematical feast.
