A new book about math and drag queen performances seeks to educate readers on both subjects, with its author saying the book details how the two overlap.
Kynes Santos, a drag queen himself, discussed his new book Math in Drag on Wednesday, explaining that math was always his favorite school subject and that he wanted to help combine his love for math and drag. Santos noted that some people argue that the two subjects are unrelated, as math is about rules while there are no rules in drag.
“But really, the book is about all the ways that they overlap, and really, higher level math is about thinking creatively and questioning rules and stereotypes,” Santos said on CBS Mornings.
Santos, who goes by the drag queen name Kynes on social media, has posted multiple math-related riddles in drag
