Origami at the Intersection of Algebra, Geometry and Calculus
Wares, Arsalan; Valori, Giovanna
International Journal of Mathematical Education in Science and Technology, v52 n7 p1108-1112 2021
In this note we describe the mathematics that emerges from the construction of an origami box. We first construct a simple origami box from two rectangular sheets and then discuss some of the mathematical questions that arise in the context of algebra, geometry and calculus.
