Come explore the delightful and unexpected connections between origami and mathematics. Our focus will be high-school geometry and the ways that origami can illuminate the subject and offer surprises to even the most seasoned geometers. No mathematics background is required—this is a class for everyone. We’ll focus on models where you are free the pick the location of certain folds, with your choice helping to convey the generality of the mathematical results.
