Pop-Up Geometry

The book explores the intricate geometry and mathematics behind pop-up cards and books, highlighting how their designs involve the intersection of shapes and linkages. It connects these artistic creations to algebraic equations that describe their movements, demonstrating practical applications like GPS technology. Starting with historical concepts like the nephroid, it delves into modern topics in rigid origami and computational complexity, making the content accessible to readers with high-school math knowledge. The explanations are enhanced by over 140 figures and 20 animations.
