Reviews

“Friedman’s new book is the first modern scholarly account of the history of mathematical paper folding. … His insights and detailed scholarship make this an invaluable source book for anyone interested in the history of mathematics. … Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.” (R. L. Pour, Choice, Vol. 56 (05), January, 2019) “The work offers a wealth of mathematical and historical information on a wide selection of topics that involve folding. … the author provides general readers, as well as historians and mathematicians, with a fascinating, well-researched, richly illustrated, well-referenced, and valuable resource on the history of paper folding and its mathematical aspects.” (James J. Tattersall, Mathematical Reviews, January, 2019)
