Origamics: Mathematical Explorations Through Paper Folding is a book on the mathematics of paper folding by Kazuo Haga [], a Japanese retired biology professor.It was edited and translated into English by Josefina C. Fonacier and Masami Isoda, based on material published in several Japanese-language books by Haga, and published in 2008 by World Scientific. [1]
John Montroll was born in Washington, D.C. [1] He is the son of Elliott Waters Montroll, an American scientist and mathematician.He has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Mathematics from the University of Rochester, a Master of Arts in Electrical Engineering from the University of Michigan, and a Master of Arts in applied mathematics from the University of Maryland.
Geometric Origami is a book on the mathematics of paper folding, focusing on the ability to simulate and extend classical straightedge and compass constructions using origami. It was written by Austrian mathematician Robert Geretschläger [ de ] and published by Arbelos Publishing (Shipley, UK) in 2008.
The origami crane diagram, using the Yoshizawa–Randlett system. The Yoshizawa–Randlett system is a diagramming system used to describe the folds of origami models. Many origami books begin with a description of basic origami techniques which are used to construct the models.

A paper fortune teller may be constructed by the steps shown in the illustration below: [1] [2] The corners of a sheet of paper are folded up to meet the opposite sides and (if the paper is not already square) the top is cut off, making a square sheet with diagonal creases.
The Miura fold is a form of rigid origami, meaning that the fold can be carried out by a continuous motion in which, at each step, each parallelogram is completely flat. This property allows it to be used to fold surfaces made of rigid materials, making it distinct from the Kresling fold and Yoshimura fold which cannot be rigidly folded and ...
In 1974, origami was offered in the USSR as an additional activity for elementary school children. [20] During the 1980s a number of folders started systematically studying the mathematical properties of folded forms, which led to a rapid increase in the complexity of origami models. [21]
