As a self-taught folder of only a few months, I saw that geometry and origami were closely related, showing symmetry, angles and mirror images, area, congruency, volume and many other concepts. ... If we build a polyhedron then, sure, we encounter a shape from geometry. ... Can origami help someone learn arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and other standard math topics? ... Topics taught in this way range across the entire curriculum: problem solving; precise use of mathematical terminology; ratios, fractions, and percents; angles; area and volume; congruence; tessellations; combinatorics; propert...

There he received a good understanding of basic mathematics, studying differential and integral calculus, analytic geometry, and the foundations of analysis. ... In the summer of 1854, Dedekind qualified as a university lecturer and began lecturing on the mathematics of probability as well as on geometry with parallel treatment of analytic and projective methods. ... The primary motivation behind part one of his book, Continuity and Irrational Numbers, was the desire to replace loose geometrical concepts and intuitive justifications with exact proofs stemming from precisely formulated defin...
