Girolamo Cardano. Coloured portrait of Girolamo Cardano (1501-76),Italian mathematician and physician. Cardano was the illegitimate son of a Milanese lawyer,and his birth held back his career as a talented physician. He is best known,however,as one of the greatest algebraists of his time. He recognised both negative and complex roots of equations,and gave a general algebraic method for solving cubic equations (Cardano's solution). He was accused of plagiarism by Tartaglia,but such claims have been contested. He was also a major figure in chemical thought | |
