Simple Applications of Origami


Mathematics and Origami

Wondering how these both are connected? Well, You can teach Mathematical principles using the techniques of Origami. The most common of this is the demonstration of the Pythagoras theorem, using the simple foldings of origami.. Now-a-days, more and more scientists are integrating origami into studies. Folding and unfolding problems have applications in robotics, hydraulic tube bending, and have connections to protein folding, sheet-metal bending, packaging, and air-bag folding. There are still lot more to know about Origami in the future posts.. So hang on..
