(2017) The mathematics of twists, tilings, tessellations, and other geometric folding.
The figures in this book include photographs, vector art (created in my trusty old Adobe Freehand), and computed images created in Wolfram Mathematica, using my general-purpose origami design/analysis package, Tessellatica. Linked below are notebooks that include code that creates all of the Mathematica-computed figures in the book (as well as Tessellatica packages of varying vintages). You are welcome to download them, run the code to (re)generate figures, and make modifications if you’d like to create something similar to a figure in the book.
Here’s a Q&A with me on the publisher’s page with a little more information about the book.
Errata
Hopefully to be corrected in a future edition:
- P. 22, Figure 1.14: the rightmost labels A and B should be reversed. Credit: Tarik Hayward.
- p. 299, Equations 4.9 and 4.10.
Equation 4.9 should be $$ r_j = ((1+w)/2) v_j + ((1-w)/2) v_{j+1}. $$ Equation 4.10 should be $$ s_j = ((1-w)/2) v_j + ((1+w)/2) v_{j+1}. $$ Credit: Timothy Povall.
