It is an essential reference for researchers of origami mathematics and applications in physics, engineering, and design. Educators, students, and enthusiasts will also enjoy this fascinating account of the mathematics of folding.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e'This is a magnificent, comprehensive work. It gives a thorough overview of the underlying mathematics of flat-facet (polyhedral) origami, bringing together diverse contributions from many investigators (including the author's own seminal work), along with historical notes and context that ties everything together. This will be the standard reference for the mathematics of origami for years to come, and with the plethora of open problems, will also undoubtedly be the inspiration for many master's and Ph.D. theses in the future!' Robert J. Lang, author of Origami Design Secrets and Twists, Tilings, and Tessellations\u003cbr\u003e'Tom Hull has always been the authority and historian on origami mathematics. In this beautiful book, he ties together a wide range of classic and modern results, grounding them in their rich history.' Erik Demaine, Massachusetts Institute of Technology\u003cbr\u003e'Fans of classical geometry, geometry or topology of a combinatorial flavor, and even algebra and analysis will find much to appreciate in this book. Students and instructors alike will discover open problems, elegant theorems, and historical digressions, along with fascinating applications of concepts from standard courses. Origametry could easily function as a sourcebook for further explorations, capstone projects, or original research.' D. P. Tumer, Notices of the American Mathematical Society\u003cbr\u003e'… a delightful and informative read for mathematicians curious about the mathematics behind origami, essential for researchers starting out in this area, and handy for educators searching for ideas in topics connecting mathematics, origami and its applications.'
