Physics of Origami and Applications
The articles are primarily scientific applications of origami, that is,
using paper folding to model some physical process. Since such
applications invariably use the mathematics of origami, I thought I'd
include such articles in this bibliography.
Note: Let me know if I've missed any! I have a hunch there are
many other such articles out there that I don't know about.
