| Contents Notes | The poster's central panel depicts a medievally-attired tsar and tsarina in front of St. Basil's Cathedral in Moscow, which demonstrates mathematical shapes such as cube, octagonal prism, octagonal pyramid, and ogee curve being applied in architecture. Columns on outer left and right show examples of a Russian method of multiplication and their algebraic transformations. The text box at the bottom outlines some mathematical traditions in Russian history, and explains in detail how the problems in the columns are solved. |
