- Phys/Math Redditors: I came across Shing-Tung Yao's new book on Calabi-Yau manifolds (i.e.The Shape of Inner Space: String Theory and the Geometry of the Universe's Hidden Dimensions) and am wondering if a biochem-inclined person such as myself would be able to follow it. http://www.amazon.com/shape-inner-space-universes-dimensions/dp/0465020232 5 comments science
