3 Construction

The poster came about because I wanted something that showed that mathematics is built up from many areas, and that different areas had different flavours. Each picture and question should be explainable to school students.

I had a bit of help from friends on G+ with refining some of the pictures and questions.

On the technical side, the picture was created using LaTeX with TikZ. The format of the picture is that of a TikZ mindmap, and the font is TeX Gyre Bonum. The whole thing weighs in at about 400 lines of code.
