Hi! Welcome to my web page. I finished my Ph.D. in mathematics at the University of Rhode Island in 1997. My dissertation was on list coloring bipartite graphs, but now I mostly study the mathematics of origami (paper folding).

I'm currently an associate professor in the Department of Mathematics at Western New England University in Springfield, MA.

• Current position: Associate Professor at Western New England University
• Office: Hermann Hall 308G
• Phone: 413-782-1261
• Email: thull@wne.edu


• My curriculum vitae as well as a list of my papers, and my papers on the arXiv.

Also...
• Videos of lectures that I have given at various places and times.
• My flickr photo gallery
• YouTube Channel (where I put video instructions for some of my origami models)
• I do a radio show, Airwave Anarchy for WNEK 105.1 FM (which is WNE's student-run radio station). Sometimes I put my shows up on my SoundCloud account.

I regularly teach in Western New England's Master of Arts in Mathematics for Teachers (MAMT) program. If you are a middle- or high-school math teacher in the Pioneer Valley area of Massachusetts, you should definitely check us out!

In the Spring 2019 semester I am teaching            MATH 371 Modern Aspects of Geometry, MWF 12:00-12:50pm            MATH 421 Real Analysis, MWF 1:00pm-1:50pm       And for the 11-week Winter 2019 graduate term:            MAMT 574 Origami in Mathematics and Education, MW 4:00-5:50pm      For the Fall 2019 semester I will be teaching            MATH 235-03 Calculus III, TThr 2:00pm-3:20pm            MATH 378-01 Combinatorics, TThr 11:00am-12:20pm       And for the 11-week Fall 2019 graduate term:            MAMT 543-41 Linear Algebra, MW 6:00-7:50pm      Please Email me if you have any questions about, well, anything!

Unpaid ad: My book, Project Origami: activities for exploring mathematics. (publisher's website, cover and TOC) has came out in a second edition! AND it has also been translated into Japanese and Chinese!

There are a lot of things on this site. As it's grown they've gotten all inter-mingled and some of the links go in circles. Below is a list of the main things here, but feel free to explore!

Origami-related Origami Math Pages LOTS of stuff there, including diagrams of models, tutorials, animations, a bibliography, and links. Check it out! Origami Model Gallery Every day is Halloween! Flapping Bat Action Model Origami CD Case PDF Diagrams, GIF Diagrams This has been a very popular model. Some folks at Michigan Engineering Software and Hardware put together a script that lets you type in song titles and will print them out onto paper that is ready to be folded into the case. It's at www.papercdcase.com Information on the APA imagiro Student-related Courses I've taught at WNE: Undergraduate       MATH 133 Calculus I       MATH 134 Calculus II       MATH 235 Calculus III       MATH 306 Linear Algebra       MATH 371 Modern Aspects of Geometry       MATH 375 Creative Problem Solving       MATH 378 Combinatorics       MATH 379 Graph Theory       MATH 421 Real Analysis       MATH 427 Complex Analysis       MATH 490 Real Analysis II Graduate (MAMT)       MAMT 540 Calculus Revisited       MAMT 544 Creative Problem Solving in Mathematics       MAMT 550 Discrete Mathematics       MAMT 552 Geometry Revisited       MAMT 564 Analysis       MAMT 566 Algebraic Structures       MAMT 490 Topology and Fractals       MAMT 590 Origami in Mathematics and Education Mathematical Methods in Origami, which I taught at the University of Tokyo, Komaba Campus in December of 2015.

Here are some web pages of courses I've taught in the past (at Merrimack College): MA 114A Discrete Mathematics MA 219A Calculus III, Fall 06 MA 223A Topics in Geometry, Fall 00, Fall 06 MA 244A Combinatorics, MA 343A Intro to Real Analysis (Fall 99, Fall 01, Fall 03), MA 323A Combinatorial Geometry Mathematica Labs for Calc III. I developed these during a year I spent teaching at the University of Cincinnati. Math-related Curriculum vitae This might not be my official CV, and may need to be updated. If you want an official one, email me and I'll send you a PDF of the most recent version. Papers. (Like, research papers and preprints) Job interview advice HEY! I edited the proceedings of the 3rd International Meeting of Origami Science, Math, and Education (3OSME). Take a look at the table of contents.
