I keep having them reccomended to me and wanted to know if any likeminded people here have had any interaction with them, especially her one about gender. I’m sure she’s a liberal but is her work still any good? (Also how much about math do I need to know to actually understand her works, or not be duped by Gell-mann amnesia)?

    I’ve read How To Bake π. I think it was enjoyable little book. Had a few aha! moments. Don’t recall any libby content in it.

    I appreciate her popularising maths by making it more exciting subject than what schools do.

    Wondering the same thing - recently saw her book on Category Theory recommended. Watched a TED Talk-like presentation by her on it and I wasn’t that impressed by the examples, but maybe the book is better.
