This page contains various and sundry links to web pages that
combine origami with mathematical
or scientific applications.
See
here for additional links not specifically related to mathematical and scientific origami.

there are any pages you think I've overlooked.
Trisecting an angle with Origami
An article on Science News's "MathTrek" online column about origami trisection.
Tom Hull's Origami Math
Includes the most extensive
bibliography of origami mathematics that I know of.
David Eppstein’s Geometry Junkyard
Eppstein's collection of numerous interesting links about math
contains this section of origami-related links.
Professor Erik Demaine
Erik is a professor at MIT
whose research covers many aspects of folding including algorithms and
complexity theory.
Nicholas Terry
Nicholas Terry's website contains many galleries of works and diagrams by
some of the brightest young stars in origami. Of particular interest is his
collection of crease patterns, which illustrate the underlying structure of
the associated origami figures.
Alex Bateman's Tessellations
Alex Bateman’s web page that includes extensive information
about origami tessellations and a downloadable program for generating
them.
Chris K. Palmer
Chris Palmer’s website formerly included much information
about origami tessellations and still has
interesting images of “polypouches,”
Chris’s variations on single twists.
Helena Verrill
Helena Verrill’s origami pages include Helena’s
own research into origami tessellations.
Paul Haeberli
A tutorial by Paul Haeberli on pleated structures.
Dave Mitchell’s Origami Heaven
Contains an extensive
collection of information about modular origami (origami made from many
identical units).
The Business Card Menger Sponge Project
Describes a project
to build an order-3 approximation of a fractal object using 66,408 folded
business cards.
Jim Plank’s Origami Modular Page
More modulars,
including directions.
Dr. David Huffman
The late Dr. David Huffman (of Huffman coding fame) was
one of the pioneers of mathematical origami. This page shows some of his
work.
Simon Guest
Simon Guest’s explorations of foldable structures.
