"Math's Paper Trail: The Origins of Mathematics and Origami"
In what ways do math and art intersect? Math isn't just about equations, formulas, homework and knee-rattling exams. Art is infused with mathematics -- think of the patterns, symmetry, shape and beauty.
World-renowned physicist, engineer and origami artist Robert Lang demonstrates the close relationship between mathematics and origami -- the ancient art of paper folding at Science Unwrapped's April 2nd presentation. Join us for a fascinating evening! Admission is free and open to all ages.
