Origami 3: Third International Meeting of Origami Science, Mathematics, and Education Sponsored by Origami USA

A K Peters/CRC Press, 2002. — 352 p. — ISBN: 1568811810, 9781568811819 The book contains papers from the proceedings of the 3rd International Meeting of Origami Science, Math, and Education, sponsored by OrigamiUSA. They cover topics ranging from the mathematics of origami using polygon constructions and geometric projections, applications, and science of origami, and the use of origami in education. The 31 papers do not necessarily pay more attention than other studies to the three-dimensional aspects of the Japanese paper-folding art: the cubed title refers to the number of the conference. They discuss such topics as a disk-packing algorithm for an origami magic trick, polypolyhedra, and origami and the adult learner of English as a second language.

By "the mathematics of paper-folding," we mean an attempt to learn the "hows and whys" of paper-folding by modeling the process with mathematics.
