The Equidistribution of Lattice Shapes of Rings of Integers of Cubic, Quartic, and Quintic Number Fields: An Artist's Rendering is a math book by Piper Harron. It is based on her big research project for her advanced degree at Princeton University. The book has a very long name, but it's about how certain math shapes are spread out evenly.
This book is written in a fun and easy-to-understand way. It has parts for different readers: people who don't know much about math, people who know some math, and math experts. Piper Harron wanted to write a book that was different from typical serious math books. She wanted to show that mathematicians can be themselves.
It's unusual for a math book, but Harron included cartoons, poems, and jokes. She also added references to popular culture. A science writer named Evelyn Lamb praised Harron. She admired how Harron made complex math ideas easy to understand for everyone.
