Discover how mathematics can be understood through everyday experiences. Eugenia Cheng's unique approach to explaining complex maths concepts is rooted in her love of cooking and life's simple pleasures.
This book explores the logic and beauty of mathematics, using insights from the kitchen to illustrate key ideas. From the béchamel sauce in a lasagna to the challenges of making a good custard, Cheng shows how math can be both easy and hard at the same time.
With a focus on category theory, a cutting-edge area of mathematics that seeks to understand how math works, Cheng offers a fresh perspective on this often-misunderstood subject. Her infectious enthusiasm for life and learning makes complex ideas accessible and entertaining.
