On the corner of Ropes Drive and Hartree Way. Three tall granite ‘propeller’s shapes are linked by a central post. The top of each is cut with different conics, formed by ‘cutting’ a cone. The conics are a PARABOLA, a CIRCLE (a special case of the ellipse) and a RECTANGULAR HYPERBOLA (a special case of the hyperbola). Each of the giant ‘propellers’ is made of three separate stones, all prepared in Brittany. http://www.kesgrave.org.uk/community/monument/docs/computer%20commemoration%20booklet.pdf
