Title: x + y Author: Eugenia Cheng Narrator: Moira Quirk Format: mp3 Length: 7 hrs and 20 mins Release date: 08-25-20 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 42 ratings Genres: Mathematics Publisher's Summary: Why are men in charge? After years in the male-dominated field of mathematics and in the female-dominated field of art, Eugenia Cheng has heard the question many times. In x + y, Cheng argues that her mathematical specialty - category theory - reveals why. Category theory deals more with context, relationships, and nuanced versions of equality than with intrinsic characteristics. Category theory also emphasizes dimensionality: much as a cube can cast a square or diamond shadow, depending on your perspective, so too do gender politics appear to change with how we examine them.
