Math and Origami

As many people know, I am a wiz at math. Give me and equation and I can find an equivalent one in mere seconds. Other than that I think I have the same math skills of everyone else. But when you combine math and origami, oh the possibilities! So here we have an Origami Hyperbolic Parabola.

It is so hard to get a good picture of these. It is quite amazing when you have the opportunity to see it in person and to hold it in your hands. A few days after I made this I watched a certain movie to where a professor talks about these. He says that they practically fold themselves. It’s true. You should try to make one of these.
