Good to see origami on the front page.
For those who are interested in the field - whether as art, for the fun of folding or the various potential practical applications - the best book on the subject by far is Robert Lang’s Origami Design Secrets[1], which is a fantastic read and covers all of these and more. Lang is a mathematician at heart but also a consummate artist. I certainly can’t recommend origami enough as a hobby.

- sohkamyung 5y agoMy introduction to origami was via Robert Harbin and his four "Origami" books, which include a series of origami models, both simple and hard to fold.

- agumonkey 5y agoErik Demaine (approx spelling) has a course on origami folding too. Mit opencourseware IIRC I'd love to know if people blended origami, pepakura and mechanics
- mkosmul 5y agoYes, it's available at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDcAOTaCXHs&list=PLUl4u3cNGP62xuxL4CQpy8uo2MeM4a3YD https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDcAOTaCXHs&list=PLUl4u3cNGP... It takes quite a lot of time to watch (it's a full semester course) but definitely worth your time if you're into origami and mathematics.
- agumonkey 5y agoSlight jump, his course on succinct / advanced data structures is brilliant too
