| Euclidean geometry Euclidean geometry is a mathematical system attributed to the Greek mathematician Euclid of Alexandria. Euclid's Elements is the earliest known systematic discussion of geometry. It has been one of the most influential books in history, as much for its method as for its mathematical content. The method consists of assuming a small set of intuitively appealing axioms, and then proving many other propositions (theorems) from those axioms. Euclidean_geometry

| Mathematics of paper folding art of paper folding, or origami, has received a considerable amount of mathematical study. Fields of interest include a given paper model's flat-foldability (whether the model can be flattened without damaging it) and the use of paper folds to solve mathematical equations.

| Huzita–Hatori axioms Huzita–Hatori axioms or Huzita–Justin axioms are a set of rules related to the mathematical principles of paper folding, describing the operations that can be made when folding a piece of paper. The axioms assume that the operations are completed on a plane (i.e. a perfect piece of paper), and that all folds are linear.The axioms were first discovered by Jacques Justin in 1989.{2a} Huzita–Hatori_axioms

| Massachusetts gubernatorial election, 2006 The Massachusetts gubernatorial election of 2006 was held on November 7, 2006. Former US Assistant Attorney General Deval Patrick was elected to a four-year term, from January 4, 2007 until January 6, 2011. In his first elected office, Patrick is the second African-American governor in the United States since Reconstruction. Every four years, Massachusetts holds elections for Governor and Lieutenant Governor, as part of the general statewide election. The Primary election was September 19, 2006.

| Miura-fold Miura-fold is a rigid fold that has been used to simulate large solar panel arrays for space satellites in the Japanese 1995 Space Flight Unit. It was invented by Japanese astrophysicist Koryo Miura. It is an example of the practical importance of rigid origami, or treating hinges and rigid surfaces like the paper and creases in paper folding problems.A folded Miura-fold can be packed into an area no larger than the size of one of the segments that make up the overall shape, its thickness restricted only by the thickness of the folded material.

| Humiaki Huzita Humiaki Huzita (, Hepburn romanization:Fujita Fumiaki, 1924 26 march 2005) was a Japanese-Italian mathematician and origami artist. He was born in Japan, emigrating to Italy to study nuclear physics at the University of Padua. He is best known for formulating the first six Huzita–Hatori axioms, which described the mathematics of paper folding to solve geometric construction problems. Humiaki_Huzita

| Augustinian values Augustinian values refer to values which are Christian and which Augustine of Hippo has colored with his saintly life and deepened by his teaching. A "value" is a "good that contributes to the perfection of being (not having or doing)." "Christian values" are values based on the Gospel proclaimed by Christ and handed on to believers by the apostles. Augustinian_values

| Moseley Wrought Iron Arch Bridge Moseley Wrought Iron Arch Bridge, also known as the Upper Pacific Mills Bridge, is a historic, riveted, wrought iron bridge now located in North Andover, Massachusetts. It is a National Historic Civil Engineering Landmark now listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the oldest iron bridge in Massachusetts, and one of the oldest such bridges in the United States.The bridge was completed in 1864 as Moseley Truss Bridge built by the Moseley Iron Building Works of Boston, to connect the Pacific Mills with Canal Street in Lawrence, Massachusetts by spanning the North Canal.

| Rigid origami Rigid origami is a branch of origami which is concerned with folding structures using flat rigid sheets joined by hinges. It is a part of the study of the mathematics of paper folding, it can be considered as a type of mechanical linkage, and has great practical utility. Rigid_origami
