Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, sometimes tearing, we will explore a diversity of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry through elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami to surgical devices and ‘h-principle’. Much of the lecture consists of table-top demonstrations, which you can try later with friends and family.

So, take a sheet of paper. . .
