Bridget's feedback:

"This is off to a great start, with a sound selection and use of details contributing to the overall flow of the discussion. One main task as you move forward will be to clean up or standardize the formatting, as the presentation of the lists and examples are rather difficult to navigate in the current draft. Your style guide will have recommendations on this, as well as on formatting block quotations and titles; follow that guidance to ensure your reader can focus on the content as they read.

To zoom in on one section, I wondered if quite so much space should be devoted to Roman numerals: I agree that understanding their complexity helps highlight the impact of the Hindu-Arabic system; I think showing how to write the very large numbers will suffice, allowing for a more efficient discussion."
