Abstract

The fun-sounding research eventually published in the form of Pasta By Design started off as an innocuous bet (Fig. 1). Eventually it earned this writer the sort of media coverage reserved for prime-time culture: interviews with the New York Times, chats with lifestyle hosts on US primetime cable TV (CBS on Sunday); reviews in the Wall Street Journal, the Financial Times, the US National Public Radio, the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung, the Russian edition of GQ magazine, and even Oprah.com. In 2 years since its publication, this unique book has earned generous praise and dismissive criticism in equal measure. Given that it is part mathematical paper, the reception has been both markedly mainstream and (on occasion) emotional—two reactions we would not readily associate with scientific publishing. From author to reader via publisher, distributor, and mass media, Pasta By Design has appealed to drastically different sensibilities.
