Extractions: To throw in a fair game at Hazards only three-spots, when something great is at stake, or some business is the hazard, is a natural occurrence and deserves to be so deemed; and even when they come up the same way for a second time if the throw be repeated. If the third and fourth plays are the same, surely there is occasion for suspicion on the part of a prudent man.

http://www.stetson.edu/~efriedma/periodictable/html/Cd.html

Extractions: Girolamo Cardano is sometimes known by his Latin name, Cardan. He was an illegitimate child of a lawyer in Milan, whose expertise in mathematics was such that he was consulted by Leonardo da Vinci on questions of geometry. Cardano at first became his father's assistant, but began to think about an academic career after learning mathematics from his father. He studied medicine, and was a brilliant student. But he was outspoken and highly critical, so he was not well liked. Cardano squandered the small bequest from his father and turned to gambling to make a living. Cardano's understanding of probability meant he had an advantage over his opponents and, in general, he won more than he lost. Gambling became an addiction that was to last many years and rob Cardano of valuable time, money and reputation. Cardano was awarded his doctorate in medicine in 1525. He set up a small, and not very successful, medical practice in Sacco, where he married. He repeatedly applied to the College of Physicians in Milan but was not allowed membership due to his reputation and his ignoble birth. Unable to practise medicine, Cardano reverted again to gambling to pay his way. Things went so badly that he was forced to pawn his wife's jewellery and even some of his furniture. Cardano was fortunate to obtain the post of lecturer in mathematics in Milan which gave him plenty of free time, and he used some of this to treat a few patients, despite not being a member of the College of Physicians. Cardano achieved some near miraculous cures and his growing reputation as a doctor led to his being consulted by members of the College, to which he was eventually admitted in 1539.

Extractions: Biography: Girolamo Cardano Girolamo Cardano is by far one of the most interesting persons to have lived in the last millenium. He was terribly abused as a child. He was the result of an abortion attempt that failed. From these humble and sad beginnings grew a formidable scholar and world-renowned surgeon, just to name a few of his many specialties. His father was an attorney who was known to associate with top scientists and artists of the day. He was sought by royalty for his expertise. Despite his success, family disgrace quickly destroyed what so many years of hard work had achieved. Like during his sad youth, he left this world much the same way. In the same way that he had spent his childhood- sad and alone. I. Girolamo Cardano, also referred to as Jerome Cardan, and Gerolamo Cardano, was born in Pavia, Italy on September 24, 1501. He died in Rome, Italy on September 21, 1576 by his own hand. bodyOffer(7296) II. After a torturous childhood filled with shame and abuse, Cardano escaped to the University of Pavia, where he received a BA. Later he received a Doctorate at the University of Padua. III.

Extractions: Girolamo Cardano (more commonly known as Jerome Cardan) was an Italian doctor and mathematician. He was born in 1501 and died in 1576, three days before his 75th birthday. He calculated odds for gambling and wrote the first gambler's manual. Cardan also worked on problem solving. Cardan's father was a lawyer and he was called upon about questions on geometry. Cardan was inspired by his father and became his father's assistant before becoming a mathematician himself. Cardan invented an algebraic formula for finding square roots. Cardan turned to gambling to raise his finances. Cardan's understanding of odds meant that he had an advantage over the other players and won more than he lost. When Cardan was older, he adopted his grandson when the boy's parents died.

http://scidiv.bcc.ctc.edu/Math/Cardano.html

Extractions: died: September 20, 1576 in San Marco, Italy Cardano was an ambitious, dishonest, hot-tempered, quarrelsome, conceited and humorless man, but capable of generosity, kindliness and merciless self-revelation. His parents were an abominable pair; his favorite son was executed for murder; his other son was a scoundrel who managed to escape the gallows but brought Cardano nothing but unhappiness and disgrace. (J. R. Newman) Prominent physician. Prolific writer on all topics. First published solutions for roots of 3rd and 4th degree polynomials. First booklet on probability. Cardano's father was a physician, lawyer and geometer, and the whole family beat Cardano as a child, only stopping later because it might hinder his job of carrying his father's baggage. At 19 Cardano entered the University of Pavia to study medicine. Because of his background and personality, good positions were not available to him and he became a country doctor in a small village. Cardano considered his life idyllic: "I gambled, played musical instruments, took walks, was of good cheer and studied only rarely. I had no pains, no fears. It was the springtime of my life." Of all of his writings, Cardano is primarily remembered for Ars Magna, the first great Latin book entirely about algebra. It discussed the theory of equations and included for the first time in print techniques for solving cubic and quartic equations. The techniques, however, were not discovered by Cardano. His student, Ferrari, discovered the method for solving quartics, and Tartaglia discovered the method for cubics. Tartaglia was understandably upset to see his secret method for solving cubics included in Cardano's Ars Magna, and he accused Cardano, who had promised to keep the method a secret, of theft and a number of other low crimes. Ferrari, sharp-tongued and hot-headed, was put in charge of defending his teacher Cardano in public, and a public feud raged.

Extractions: Girolamo Cardano ( PORTRAIT - 46K ) led a rich life about which we know many details thanks to his autobiography, De vita propria liber (The Book of My Life) In 1534, Cardano and his family moved to Milan where he took up teaching duties at the schools founded by Tommaso Piatti for instruction in Greek, astronomy, dialectics, and mathematics. This marked the beginning of his active interest in mathematics. In 1539, he wrote his first mathematical treatise, Practica arithmetica (Practical arithmetic) , and in 1545 he produced his greatest mathematical work, Artis magnae sive de regulis algebraicis liber unus (The Great Art) , which launched his priority dispute with fellow Italian, Niccolo Tartaglia At the same time that he took up his mathematical teaching duties, Cardano maintained his medical practice and saw his status in that profession grow to such proportions that he soon enjoyed a reputation second only to that of the great Andreas Vesalius. In 1543 he accepted the chair of medicine at the University of Pavia, holding that position until 1560 with a seven-year hiatus from 1552 to 1559. The year 1552, in fact, found Cardano in Scotland treating the Archbishop of Edinburgh, an indication of just how far his reputation as a physician had reached. As Cardano admits, however, his life also had its bitter disappointments. In his words, in 1560, his eldest son "had been accused of attempting to poison his wife while she was still in the weakness attendant upon childbirth. On the 17th day of February he was apprehended, and fifty-three days after, on April 13th, he was beheaded in prison. And this was my supreme, my crowning misfortune." (p. 93) Cardano was forced in disgrace from Milan, ultimately securing a professorship of medicine at the University of Bologna. Troubles revisited him in 1570 when he was imprisoned by the Inquisition for the heresy of casting the horoscope of Jesus Christ. Having cast his own horoscope and having predicted that he would live to the age of seventy-five, Cardano committed suicide on 21 September, 1576.

CARDANO'S SOLUTION.(Girolamo Cardano's works) Author/s: Allan Ashworth Issue: Jan, 1999 Girolamo Cardano was one of the great Renaissance polymaths in the tradition of Leonardo. Allan Ashworth explains the significance of his key mathematical work. `A man is nothing but his mind; if that be out of order, all is amiss, and if it be well, the rest is at ease'. Girolamo Cardano In a rear-wheel-drive car, the gear box is connected to the rear axle by a type of universal joint known as a cardan-shaft. It has the effect of absorbing the vertical movement of the vehicle. Not only does this joint mean a smoother drive, but it is more efficient and less prone to breakdown because the drive shaft is always at a ninety-degree angle to the axle. The first such universal joint was fitted to a carriage belonging to the Holy Roman Emperor Charles V in 1548. This piece of engineering alone would have shown its inventor (after whom it was named) to be a remarkable man; but there was a lot more to him than this. The man was Girolamo Cardano (1501-76), a man in the quintessential Renaissance tradition.

http://www-gap.dcs.st-and.ac.uk/~history/Mathematicians/Cardan.html

Extractions: Girolamo Cardano 's name was Cardan in Latin and he is sometimes known by the English version of his name Jerome Cardan. Girolamo Cardano was the illegitimate child of Fazio Cardano and Chiara Micheria. His father was a lawyer in Milan but his expertise in mathematics was such that he was consulted by Leonardo da Vinci on questions of geometry. In addition to his law practice, Fazio lectured on geometry, both at the University of Pavia and, for a longer spell, at the Piatti foundation in Milan. When he was in his fifties, Fazio met Chiara Micheria, who was a young widow in her thirties, struggling to raise three children. Chiara became pregnant but, before she was due to give birth, the plague hit Milan and she was persuaded to leave the city for the relative safety of nearby Pavia to stay with wealthy friends of Fazio. Thus Cardan was born in Pavia but his mother's joy was short lived when she received news that her first three children had died of the plague in Milan. Chiara lived apart from Fazio for many years but, later in life, they did marry. Cardan at first became his father's assistant but he was a sickly child and Fazio had to get help from two nephews when the work became too much for Cardan . However, Cardan began to wish for greater things than an assistant to his father. Fazio had taught his son mathematics and Cardano began to think of an academic career. After an argument, Fazio allowed Cardan to go university and he entered Pavia University, where his father had studied, to read medicine despite his father's wish that he should study law.
