Departmental Colloquium
This is a featured talk
by Tadashi Tokieda (Stanford University)
Starting from just a sheet of paper, by folding, stacking, crumpling, tearing, we shall explore a rich variety of phenomena, from magic tricks and geometry through elasticity and the traditional Japanese art of origami to medical devices and ‘h-principle’. Much of the lecture consists of table-top demos, which you can later try with family and friends.
So, take a sheet of paper . . .
We are zooming this talk, see the zoom link.
Tadashi Tokieda will also give the physics colloquium "Surprises from rubbing the wrong way" the next day, on Thursday Oct 15, see https://www.physics.utoronto.ca/news-and-events/events/colloquium/talk-on-oct-15-2026/
