Sinopsis

With the help of 200 color figures, Joseph O'Rourke helps readers discover mathematical theorems through folding paper. He explains these fascinating folding problems starting from high school algebra and geometry and introducing more advanced concepts in tangible contexts as they arise. The book's website, http://www.howtofoldit.org, has dynamic animations of many of the foldings and downloadable templates for readers to fold or cut out.
