BOOK

Geometric Exercises in Paper Folding

---

Originally published in India in 1893, this seminal work became a major catalyst for using paper folding as a mathematical tool. The book demonstrates how complex geometric constructions—including regular polygons, symmetry, and even algebraic curves like parabolas—can be achieved using only a square of paper and a few simple tools. Row bridges the gap between the intuitive art of origami and rigorous Euclidean geometry, showing that fundamental concepts like perpendicular bisectors and angle trisection can be visualized and proven through physical folds. This Dover edition is a reprint of the 1905 update revised by Wooster Woodruff Beman and David Eugene Smith, which replaced some of the original diagrams with photographs for greater clarity.
