Origami -paper-folding - may not seem like a subject for mathematical investigation or one with sophisticated applications, yet anyone who has tried to fold a road map or wrap a present knows that origami is not trivial matter.
Mathematicians, computer scientist, and engineers have recently discovered that this centuries-old subjects can be used to solve many modern problems. The method of origami are now used to fold object such as automobile air bags and huge space telescopes efficiently, and may be related to how proteins fold.
