Möbius bagels, Euclid's flourless chocolate cake and apple pi - this
is maths, but not as you know it.
In _How to Bake Pi_, mathematical crusader and star baker Eugenia
Cheng has rustled up a batch of delicious culinary insights into
everything from simple numeracy to category theory ('the mathematics
of mathematics'), via Fermat, Poincaré and Riemann.
Maths is much more than simultaneous equations and pr2 : it is an
incredibly powerful tool for thinking about the world around us. And
once you learn how to think mathematically, you'll never think about
anything - cakes, custard, bagels or doughnuts; not to mention fruit
crumble, kitchen clutter and Yorkshire puddings - the same way again.
Stuffed with moreish puzzles and topped with a generous dusting of wit
and charm, _How to Bake Pi_ is a foolproof recipe for a mathematical
feast.
