Origami 5: Fifth International Meeting of Origami Science, Mathematics, and Education

This is a near fine condition soft cover. Clean and unmarked. 646 pages. "Explore(s) the interdisciplinary connections between origami and the real world. This book begins with a section on origami history, art, and design. It is followed by sections on origami in education and origami science, engineering, and technology, and the book culminates with a section on origami mathematics.Within this one volume you will find a broad selection of historical information, artists' descriptions of their processes, various perspectives and approaches to the use of origami in education, mathematical tools for origami design, applications of folding in engineering and technology, as well as original and cutting-edge research on the mathematical underpinnings of origami." Numerous contributors to the volume.
