one of the pioneers of the cross-disciplinary marriage of origami with mathematics. He is noted for designs of great detail and realism, and includes in his repertoire some of the most complex origami designs ever created.
a library of C++ classes and templates for high-performance numerical computation. PETE, which stands for "Portable Expression Template Engine", uses a technique called expression templates to eliminate data copying and the creation of temporary variables
@ Cornell University, video shows six laboratory demonstrations of chaos and nonlinear phenomena, intended for use in a first course on nonlinear dynamics. Steven Strogatz explains the principles being illustrated and why they are important.
