How to Bake Pi: An Edible Exploration of the Mathematics of Mathematics | 
bailedThe writing is not super clear, it does not help me understand math or how to do math, and there was almost no baking. Just putting a recipe in the front of your chapter is NOT using baking to explain math. I made it 50% and after almost falling asleep while reading in the middle of the day, I decided to finally bail. 0/5 stars, read this if you already like and know math but want theory. Basic idea is that math is not difficult, it‘s logic, yay?
so-soAn accessible book about Maths (if there is such a thing) which uniquely relates the concepts to recipes, helping to illustrate the points.
Thank you thank you thank you 🙏 @Cupofjo !!! I had so much fun opening this package, everything was wrapped so cute. You did an awesome job, I can‘t wait to try making your grandmother‘s apple tart. Apple pie/tart is my favorite. 😄. The bakeware is lovely and the books are all great choices. I can‘t wait to start them. #FeedaReader. @MinDea @TricksyTails
Will I read a book about math principles ? Most likely no. Will I read a book about math principles related to and discussed in terms cooking (with recipes)? Oh, yeah 🤣 That, and I might also gift this to my brother‘s girlfriend who has a university degree in math and who also enjoys cooking 😉

pickOkay so I know a lot of this went way over my head, but I enjoyed it. The author has some interesting perspectives on math that I hadn't ever really considered, not being much of a math whiz myself. I liked how often she compared stuff to food, and I really liked the narrator. 👍🔊📚➕➖✖➗

I may have gone on a bit of an #Audible shopping spree today... bought some extra credits and went nuts! 😂💸🔊📚

I had my Pi Day pie!
And really? No emoji for pie? 😑
Pi and Pie! #marchintoreading #pi?pie! An interesting and entertaining book on mathematics/ baking 😄
My cousin gave me this book for Christmas - she didn't know it is on my "to read" list! I read the first few pages yesterday and I can tell this is my kind of book.
This just arrived from Housing Works. I am ready to demystify calculus. Or eat. Decisions, decisions.
It seems irrational that only one of the math books in my office has a number in the title. #badmathjokes #numberintitle #somethingforsept #septphotochallenge
pickThis was such a fascinating book! The author uses real world examples to illustrate concepts which range from high school to graduate level math but the author's real strength is in teaching the reader to change how they think about mathematical concepts. I kinda want to take a math class now!😱
The sentence I thought I would never say: I love the math book I'm reading!😱
I listened to an interview about a year ago with this author and was intrigued. I hate math but I love to cook so I am expecting one of two outcomes, I will read this and realize I really like/completely understand math or I will at least end up with a few good recipes...diving in!
bailedThe concept is to teach math through real life examples. Total fail. This book is boring, it rambles, and teaches nothing. I gave up.
This is my book club read. I am tired now and believe it or not, it is an easier read at the moment than reading my other books. Math and cooking? I would not have picked it, but it is intriguing so far.
