Description

'This is a magnificent, comprehensive work. It gives a thorough overview of the underlying mathematics of flat-facet (polyhedral) origami, bringing together diverse contributions from many investigators (including the author's own seminal work), along with historical notes and context that ties everything together. This will be the standard reference for the mathematics of origami for years to come, and with the plethora of open problems, will also undoubtedly be the inspiration for many master's and Ph.D. theses in the future!' Robert J. Lang, author of Origami Design Secrets and Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations

'Tom Hull has always been the authority and historian on origami mathematics. In this beautiful book, he ties together a wide range of classic and modern results, grounding them in their rich history.' Erik Demaine, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

'Fans of classical geometry, geometry or topology of a combinatorial flavor, and even algebra and analysis will find much to appreciate in this book. Students and instructors alike will discover open problems, elegant theorems, and historical digressions, along with fascinating applications of concepts from standard courses. Origametry could easily function as a sourcebook for further explorations, capstone projects, or original research.' D. P. Tumer, Notices of the American Mathematical Society

'… a delightful and informative read for mathematicians curious about the mathematics behind origami, essential for researchers starting out in this area, and handy for educators searching for ideas in topics connecting mathematics, origami and its applications.' Ana Rita Pires, European Mathematical Society Magazine

'This is not your typical origami book: it is a mathematics text, along with open problems, history, exercises and diversions. It is a good read for both the novice and the expert, and is sure to have something for anyone with even a small interest in the mathematics of origami.' Alan S. McRae, MathSciNet

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.
