| Contents Notes | The poster's central panel represents a typical Gothic stained glass cathedral window; the rose window honours the apostles, and the lancets below pair New Testament with Old Testament figures. Figures of angels decorate the corners of the poster. Columns on outer left and right illustrate usage of a line abacus: representation of a numeral with place value of ones, tens, hundreds, thousands and ten thousands, plus seven addition and two subtraction calculations. The text box at the bottom relates the application of mathematics to the construction of Gothic cathedrals, and explains how the line abacus works. |
