Origametry - Mathematical Methods in Paper Folding

Informationen zum Autor Thomas C. Hull is an Associate Professor of Mathematics at Western New England University and a world expert on the mathematics of origami. He has won the A. T. Yang Memorial Award in Theoretical Kinematics for his research, and his Five Intersecting Tetrahedra was named among the top 10 origami models of all time by the British Origami Society. Zusammenfassung Written by a world expert on the subject, Origametry is the first complete reference on the mathematics of origami. It is an essential reference for researchers of origami mathematics and applications in physics, engineering, and design. Educators, students, and enthusiasts will also enjoy this fascinating account of the mathematics of folding. Inhaltsverzeichnis Introduction; Part I. Geometric Constructions: 1.
