Henle, James M.,
The proof and the pudding : what mathematicians, cooks, and you have in common / Jim Henle. - 1 online resource (viii, 164 pages)
Includes bibliographical references and index.
The mad scientist -- The arrogant chef -- Simple tastes -- Complex flavors -- The discriminating eater -- The persistent cook -- Gluttony -- Vanity, sloth, parsimony, and lust -- On the edge, and over -- Thinking globally -- The humble cook -- The clueless geek -- Elegant dishes -- Food for the masses -- Good food for the masses -- Just for fun -- Just to be weird -- Celebrity chefs -- Economy -- Ethics -- Fusion -- It all comes together -- It all falls apart -- A proof and a pudding.
Tie on your apron and step into Jim Henle's kitchen as he demonstrates how two equally savory pursuits-cooking and mathematics-have more in common than you realize. A tasty dish for gourmets of popular math, The Proof and the Pudding offers a witty and flavorful blend of mathematical treats and gastronomic delights that reveal how life in the mathematical world is tantalizingly similar to life in the kitchen. Take a tricky Sudoku puzzle and a cake that fell. Henle shows you that the best way to deal with cooking disasters is also the best way to solve math problems. Or take an L-shape.
