https://www.digital-science.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Eugenia-SS-2.jpg1280720Mathematician, concert pianist, and author Dr Eugenia Cheng is on a mission to change that perception of maths by showcasing the joy, creativity and wonder of maths, and how it underpins our everyday lives, from the food we eat to the entertainment we consume. I caught up with Eugenia ahead of her Speaker Series Live talk at the Ri in June 2024 to hear about the creativity, wonder and relatability of maths, and how we can all engage with it in ways that bring us joy.
