著者について

Eugenia Cheng is a mathematician known for her work in category theory, a branch of mathematics that deals with abstract structures and relationships. She is a passionate advocate for mathematics education and seeks to make complex mathematical concepts accessible to the general public. Cheng combines her expertise in mathematics with her love for baking, illustrating mathematical ideas through culinary practices, which she explores in her books.

Cheng has authored several books, including 'Bake Infinite Pie with X + Y' and 'x + y: A Mathematician's Manifesto for Rethinking Gender,' where she emphasizes the importance of diversity in mathematics. Her unique approach to teaching and communicating mathematics has made her a sought-after speaker, and she often appears in media, aiming to inspire a wider audience to engage with mathematics. Her work not only contributes to mathematical theory but also addresses social issues related to gender in STEM fields.
