Dig into the mathematical rules and patterns of folding origami, the ancient Japanese art of paper folding. Origami, which literally translates to folding paper, is a Japanese practice dating back to at least the 17th century. In origami, a single, traditionally square sheet of paper can be transformed into almost any shape, purely by folding. The same simple concepts yield everything from a paper crane with about 20 steps, to a dragon with over 1, 000 steps. Evan Zodl explores the ancient art form. education: Origami is how I thrived during childhood, spending most of my time playing by myself in my house. The other thing that helped me is reading, a lot of reading. One model (a scorpion) took me 3 years to figure out. Now that model is the most complex one that I still remember how to fold without instructions or crease pattern.

I had a math professor in HS that absolutely loved origami, so whenever I had a new piece in my artistic repertoire (loved because of technique and as an art form) I would share with him and he would teach me one in exchange. He was the best math teacher I could ask for: dynamic, sarcastic, the type that follow you progress and watches your character development with pride (I had the same professor for almost 3 years)

I literally did a GMAT question on this, when I first learned how a different form of origami - kirigami - had uses for nano-scale applications such as fabricating unique space age materials or to remove plaques from the inner walls of arteries. Amazing application really

Did the title to the video change? When it first came up it was The unexpected math of origami. - Evan Zodl. Still a great video, and shared it with some math colleagues who liked it as well.

As programmer I seem strangely at home talking about calculating vertex's. In fact much of 3d information is stored data sets which look like poly sets, or random triages representing positions.

I cannot give enough credit to the animators and creators of this video. Their work is just as beautiful, satisfying, and intricate as the art of origami itself! Keep up the amazing work Ted!

i am just amazed with no voice. I can say one thing i am thinking that, if we be able to fully discover everything. we will end into the void. Siriously! THE SINGULARITY!

Me: Making an origami ship in the class.
My teacher: Please focus on this maths problem and stop doing this rubbish!
Me: But this is also Maths.

The whole video is so good! The animation is on point, the narration and the the way it is explained is so fulfilling.
TED-Ed never disappoints
