Introduction Origami as an art, and a craft, has engaged humans for 1500+ years. The general perception of origami is that it is a creative and artistic skill to craft beautiful shapes and objects from paper. Origami and Math The mathematical underpinnings of origami are a recent development in the long history of origami. Interestingly, we have an Indian connection here - one of the first books that systematically presented the mathematical ideas in origami is the 1893 book “Geometric Exercises in Paper Folding” by Tandalam Sundara Row from then Madras, in India.
