Description

The principle constructions of the Japanese art of paper folding have simple mathematical descriptions. Mathematica is used to elucidate the geometric modeling inherent in origami. In addition to the obvious impetus computer simulation of origami gives to geometric imagination, and also gives ample material for studing geometric and graphics primitives in a picturesque and eye-catching context. The goal of this project is to create a set of Mathematica tools that can help the interested user to appreciate both the creative and educational sides of origami. Selected basic concepts, functions and example of completed figure of flapping bird is already available in this presentation.
