Math/CS Chat

April 9, 2019

Corrine Yap, from Rutgers University, will present "The Mathematics of Flat-Folding Origami". Free pizza and everyone welcome to attend.

A flat origami model is one that can be pressed in a book without introducing new creases - think of the quintessential paper crane. Given an origami crease pattern, can we determine whether or not it will fold flat? Along the way to answering this, we will solve some combinatorial questions using origami, and some origami questions using combinatorics; no prior knowledge of either topic will be assumed. Paper will be provided.
