A Mathematical Fever Dream' Hits the Road
Briefly

Ingrid Daubechies, a mathematician at Duke University, showcases her unique talents by creating pi-shaped cookies, combining her love for mathematics and baking. She prefers a savory version with cheese and herbs, which she will prepare for Pi Day on March 14. Her innovative cookie cutter efficiently tiles dough, minimizing waste during baking. Moreover, Dr. Daubechies will promote her multimedia math-art installation, Mathemalchemy, which integrates mathematics and art, during her visit to the University of Quebec this year, encompassing various dimensions of creativity and education in mathematics.
Daubechies prefers a savory cookie variant infused with cheese and herbs over the traditional sugar cookie for her pi-shaped treats.
Her pi-shaped cookie cutter efficiently tiles dough with no waste, though practical baking sometimes results in crumbs.
Dr. Daubechies' passion project, Mathemalchemy, blends mathematics with art and showcases their intersections through immersive installations.
During her upcoming Pi Day visit to Quebec, Daubechies plans to share insights on mathematics' role in art curation.
