  3. Napkin folding problem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Napkin_folding_problem

    The napkin folding problem is a problem in geometry and the mathematics of paper folding that explores whether folding a square or a rectangular napkin can increase its perimeter. The problem is known under several names, including the Margulis napkin problem , suggesting it is due to Grigory Margulis , and the Arnold's rouble problem referring ...

  4. Mathematics of paper folding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematics_of_paper_folding

    With each fold a certain amount of paper is lost to potential folding. The loss function for folding paper in half in a single direction was given to be L = π t 6 ( 2 n + 4 ) ( 2 n − 1 ) {\displaystyle L={\tfrac {\pi t}{6}}(2^{n}+4)(2^{n}-1)} , where L is the minimum length of the paper (or other material), t is the material's thickness, and ...

  6. Regular paperfolding sequence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regular_paperfolding_sequence

    The regular paperfolding sequence corresponds to folding a strip of paper consistently in the same direction. If we allow the direction of the fold to vary at each step we obtain a more general class of sequences. Given a binary sequence (f i), we can define a general paperfolding sequence with folding instructions (f i).

    A folding machine Buckle folding machine. A folding machine is a machine used primarily for the folding of paper.Folding is the sharp-edged bending of paper webs or sheets under pressure at a prepared or unprepared bending point along a straight line according to specified dimensions and folding layouts.

  8. Fold-and-cut theorem - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fold-and-cut_theorem

    The fold-and-cut theorem states that any shape with straight sides can be cut from a single (idealized) sheet of paper by folding it flat and making a single straight complete cut. [1] Such shapes include polygons, which may be concave, shapes with holes, and collections of such shapes (i.e. the regions need not be connected ).

  9. Back-of-the-envelope calculation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-of-the-envelope...

    A back-of-the-envelope calculation is a rough calculation, typically jotted down on any available scrap of paper such as an envelope. It is more than a guess but less than an accurate calculation or mathematical proof. The defining characteristic of back-of-the-envelope calculations is the use of simplified assumptions.
