"You may never, but the ability to think through a problem that needs to be solved will be invaluable in whatever career you pursue," and I often ask "When will I use Algebra, Geometry..." and my response has become-"You may never, but the ability to "You may never, but the ability to think through a problem that needs to be solved will be invaluable in whatever career you pursue," and I feel that these puzzles help in that process.

Download or read book Mind Blowing Modular Origami written by Byriah Loper and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2016-10-11 with total page 99 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modular origami is the latest craze in paper folding! These three-dimensional models are created from a number of small pieces of paper that are easily folded and then cleverly fit together to form a spectacular shape. They range from paper polyhedra to bristling buckyballs that are reminiscent of sea urchins--to ornate flower-like spheres. Each piece of paper is held by the tension of the other papers--demonstrating the remarkable hidden properties of paper, which is at the same time flexible but also strong! Author Byriah Loper has been creating modular origami sculptures for just five years, but in that time, he's pushed the upper limits of the art form with some of the largest, most complex geometric paper constructions ever assembled. While many geo-modular origami artists focus on creating dense floral spheres, Byriah has pioneered the open, linear "wire frame" approach, which results in a very complex-looking model that reveals the interior of its form. He exhibits his sculptures annually at the Origami USA convention in New York, and was recently a featured artist at the "Surface to Structure" exhibition at the Cooper Union gallery in the East Village. A great way to learn origami, the easy-to-follow diagrams and step-by-step instructions in this book show you how to fold the paper components and then assemble them to create 22 incredible models. Each model is a new challenge, and the paper sculptures you create look fantastic on your desk or shelf!

Book excerpt: In a world increasingly driven by data and technology, the ability to think logically and make sound decisions is more crucial than ever. Logical analysis forms the bedrock of rational thinking, guiding us through complex problems and helping us arrive at reasoned conclusions. With the advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI), particularly models like ChatGPT, we now have unprecedented tools at our disposal to enhance our logical thinking processes. Logical analysis, at its core, involves the systematic examination and evaluation of information to derive meaningful insights and conclusions. It provides a structured framework for organizing thoughts, identifying patterns, and making informed judgments. When coupled with AI capabilities, such as machine learning algorithms and natural language processing, the potential for unlocking new levels of understanding and innovation becomes limitless. Throughout this book, we will delve into a series of case studies that showcase the practical applications of logical analysis with AI in diverse contexts. From deciphering complex data sets to optimizing resource allocation, each chapter will explore real-world scenarios where these methodologies have been instrumental in driving success and achieving desired outcomes.
