  你可能会对程乐纯（Eugenia Cheng）写的《如何烘焙π：数学之数学的可口探索》感兴趣。这是一本将烹饪概念与范畴论联系起来的书。

  You may be interested in the book "How to Bake Pi: An Edible Exploration of the Mathematics of Mathematics" by Eugenia Cheng. It's a book that relates concepts from cooking to Category theory.

  如果你真的懂不了多少数学，也许可以试试程乐纯的《如何烘焙π》，该书也以《蛋糕、卡仕达与范畴论》为名出版。读起来很惬意，不是教科书，也没有习题。是对该学科的通俗概览，其中前半部分只顺带提了提范畴论……

  If you genuinely don't know much maths, maybe Eugenia Cheng's "How to Bake Pi" also published as "Cakes, Custard and Category Theory" I enjoyed it, it's not a text, there are no exercises. Popular overview of the subject, including a first half that mentions category theory only…

  ……用来指代极其抽象事物的词汇可以剔除大量细节，让你看到元素之间的关系，而这些关系原本会被那些繁琐的细节所遮蔽。关于这一点，我认为程乐纯的书《如何烘焙π》就是一个绝佳的例子。https://smile.amazon.com/How-Bake-Pi-Exploration-Mathematics...

  …words for very abstract things can cut out a lot of detail and allow you to see relationships between elements that would otherwise be obscured by that very detail. For this I think Eugenia Cheng's book "How to bake Pi" is a good example. https://smile.amazon.com/How-Bake-Pi-Exploration-Mathematics...

  ……大脑——而且这是一个任何初中生都能毫无困难完全理解的证明。它提醒人们数学不是符号和规则，而是一种看待问题的方式（程乐纯的书《如何烘焙π》是对这种思维和认识世界方式的极佳诠释）。(3) 它成功避免了陷入整场毫无意义且虚伪的“数学有什么用”的工具论辩论……

  …mind---and it's a proof that any middle-schooler has no difficulty completely understanding. As a reminder that mathematics isn't symbols and rules, but a way of looking at problems (Eugenia Cheng's book, How to Bake Pi, is an excellent look at this way of thinking and approaching the world.). (3) It managed not to get bogged down in the whole pointless and hypocritical "what is math good for" instrumentality debate,…

  ……话题（感谢 Arraycast 和 Conor Hoekstra），并买下了雷蒙德·斯穆里安的《仿声鸟的嘲弄》，然而对于我不灵光的小脑袋来说还是有点太复杂了。另一方面，我非常喜欢程乐纯的《如何烘焙π》，它的难度要低上好几个量级。

  …topic (thanks to Arraycast and Conor Hoekstra) and bought to Mock a Mockingbird by Raymond Smullyan, however it is still a bit too involved for my small brain. On the other hand, I am very much enjoying How to Bake Pi by Eugenia Cheng, which is a few levels down in difficulty.

  《图论导引》 - 理查德·J·特鲁多；《π的历史》 - 彼得·贝克曼；《天才之旅：数学伟大定理》 - 威廉·邓纳姆；《如何烘焙π》 - 程乐纯。这些都算是“科普数学”类书籍——也就是说，它们更多是为了激发对数学的乐趣和热爱，而不是教授严格的数学知识。《伟大定理》和《π的历史》包含了很多……

  Introduction to Graph Theory - Richard J. Trudeau A History of Pi - Petr Beckmann Journey through Genius: The Great Theorems of Mathematics - William Dunham How to Bake Pi - Eugenia Chang These are all sort of 'pop-math' books -- that is, they're more intended to spark a joy & love for math than teach rigorous mathematics. Great Theorems and A History of Pi include a lot…
