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

[Yanying Huang]

Origami Blog has a brief review on the book "Origami 5: Fifth International Meeting of Origami Science, Mathematics, and Education" 

It is what it says it is... a documentation of an international meeting on origami, which was, interestingly, held in Singapore last year (13–17 July 2010, Singapore Management University).

Details on the book are sketchy, but if book previews of Origami 4 and Origami 3 are anything to go by ("This article describes a novel method for the construction of smoothly curved three-dimensional models of logarithmic spiral shell-like forms that approximate the curves of natural spiral shells.... g=cos(2π /n)... "), Origami 5 promises to be a very interesting read for hardcore mathematicians and geeks.

Yeah, cool you found it. I attended the last two, it is quite a fun
hobby. There is a talk I did for blink-blank not long ago here.
