Math and Oragami (Hey Luke)

This link is to Math professor Ton Hull's web page...he also makes oragami objects to clarify his geometry class

FOr example, this is a " Spiked Rhombic Enneacontahedron
This structure was conceived by taking a 90-sided polyhedron, whose faces are made from two types of rhombi, and placing a pyramid on each face. The construction uses 180 small squares of paper, all folded and interlocked together without glue..."


But if that seems a bit too much for you, go HERE and check out instructions for a flapping bat....



And he has other pages, with links to other origami projects

HERE

Since I haven't studied math beyond basic calculus (In Premed we concentrated on Chemistry and Physiology) I find this fascinating. I don't understand it, but I find it fascinating...
