This is a dazzling, joyful, and hard-hitting account of how math—and humans—cannot be confined to rigid boxes no matter how much some people try to box them in. Kyne's irrepressible spirit shines through bravely and fabulously.
With a fabulous wig in one hand and a trusty piece of chalk in the other, Kyne fearlessly guides us through a dazzling odyssey of math and drag. Prepare yourself for a mathematical eleganza extravaganza that's as enlightening as it is entertaining.
In this courageous and revolutionary masterpiece, Kyne effortlessly blends the whimsy and wonder of mathematics with the glitz and glamour of drag, revealing math to be a field as creative, complex, and constantly evolving as the diverse humans who engage with it!
Part memoir and part math, this delightful book shows some beautiful math and math history in their best drag. I couldn't put it down!
Math in Drag is an absolute delight! Kyne Santos helps readers understand math in a whole new way. Engaging, fabulous, empowering, and informative, it's like spending quality time with your favorite drag queen!
Kyne is a brilliant queen, exploring problems no other drag queen dares to solve! This book won't leave readers puzzled; it makes math feel as easy as pi!
I absolutely hate math, but Kyne made me fall in love with it?! Math is no longer a toxic lover in my life, especially when she uses K-POP anecdotes to make me understand it. I'm obsessed.
Math in Drag flows between advanced math concepts, math history, queer history, and Kyne's personal herstory as seamlessly as a mobius strip. Kyne challenges the reader to rethink everything from what numbers are to one's own psychological biases, to see the world with an open mind, and to challenge the status quo.
