When it comes to mathematics, paper isn't just for pen and pencil any more! Origami, the art and science of paper folding, can be used to explain concepts and solve problems in mathematics-and not just in the field of geometry. The origami activities collected here also relate to topics in calculus, abstract algebra, discrete mathematics, topology, and more.

Using origami, learn about:

# Solving Cubic Equations
# Bucky Balls and PHiZZ units
# Matrix models for folds
# Gaussian Curvature and much more!
