Tom Hull

Tom Hull is an associate professor of mathematics at Merrimack College and is known for his expertise in the mathematics of paper folding. [As evidenced by his books on the subject, and his invited talk at the [http://www.morgan.edu/maa/fall06/home.html MD-DC-VA Section of the MAA, Fall 2006 Meeting] .]

Along with his appointment at Merrimack, Hull has also been teaching at the Hampshire College Summer Studies in Mathematics for many years: as junior staff from 1991 to 1995, and as senior staff in 1998 to 2007. He spent his undergraduate years at Hampshire College (where his work-study job was to clean up Kelly's office). Afterwards, Hull got his MS and Ph.D. in math at the University of Rhode Island. His dissertation was in graph theory (various areas of list colorings, to be exact), which he chose it seemed to him to be the closest subject to origami that he could research for his Ph.D. Since then he has been working on research problems in origami-math and teaching origami-math classes. Tom recently wrote a book on using origami to teach math. [cite book|last = Hull|first = Thomas|title = Project Origami:Activities for Exploring Mathematics|publisher = A K Peters, Ltd.|date = 2006|isbn = 978-1568812588] He has co-authored two non-math origami books: "Origami, Plain and Simple" and "Russian Origami", and he is on the Board of Directors of OrigamiUSA (a national non-profit arts organization).
