The New York Times profiled School of the Art Institute of Chicago Professor, Adj. Eugenia Cheng, a mathematician, educator, and author, on the release of her latest book, Unequal: The Math of When Things Do and Don’t Add Up. Cheng brings math to wider audiences through accessible metaphors, often using food. In her new work, she argues that equations reveal profound truths about how we define equality in everyday life. Speaking with the Times, Cheng shared how she hopes to reframe math as a tool for thinking, fairness, and creativity beyond the classroom.
