Erik D. Demaine
is a Professor in Computer Science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Demaine's research interests range throughout algorithms, from data structures for improving web searches to the geometry of understanding how proteins fold to the computational difficulty of playing games. He received a
MacArthur Fellowship as a "computational geometer tackling and solving difficult problems related to folding and bending--moving readily between the theoretical and the playful, with a keen eye to revealing the former in the latter". He appears in the recent origami documentary Between the Folds, cowrote a book about the theory of folding (Geometric Folding Algorithms), and a book about the computational complexity of games (Games, Puzzles, and Computation). Together with his father Martin, his interests span the connections between mathematics and art, including curved-crease sculptures in the permanent collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, and the Renwick Gallery in the Smithsonian.

Joseph O'Rourke
I am a professor of Computer Science and of Mathematics at Smith College in Massachusetts in the USA.
(And now I am a Dean at the college). My specialty is computational geometry, a mix of algorithms (CS) and geometry (Math). My most recent
work and books are focused on folding & unfolding. More information at my web page: http://cs.smith.edu/~orourke

这是对折纸感兴趣的人的必读书。读者可以从书中找到任何棘手或不那么棘手的问题的答案。

如标题所示，作者研究了折叠与展开（可以认为是一维折叠）、纸张与多面体的之间的联系。

对于这为什么是理论计算机科学中的一个积极研究领域感到困惑的人应该看看这本书，你会看到机器人应用、蛋白质折叠和许许多多其它东西。
