Synopsis
Geometric Exercises in Paper-Folding introduces plane geometry through hands-on paper folding, with clear explanations and vivid diagrams.
This edition follows a careful revision by the editors, including added references and many half-tone photographs to replace the original line drawings.
This book blends classic geometry with practical folding methods. It guides readers from the fundamental square to regular polygons, conic sections, and other curves, showing how simple folds reveal deep geometric truths without heavy machinery. It emphasizes concepts like symmetry, congruence, and the visual nature of proofs, while demonstrating how algebra and trigonometry illuminate geometric ideas.- Learn to fold squares into equal parts, right triangles, and other basic shapes without instruments.
- See how folding can illustrate polygonal, circle, and conic concepts in a concrete way.
- Explore topics from the square to nonagons, decagons, and beyond, plus general principles and interesting curves.
- Appreciate the historical and educational context of paper-folding as a tool for understanding geometry.
