Gerolamo Cardano, Italian mathematician
Gerolamo Cardano (1501-1576), Italian mathematician and physician, coloured historical artwork. Gerolamo Cardano, also known as Jerome Cardan, is best known 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 (Cardanos solution). He was accused of plagiarism by Tartaglia, but such claims have been contested. Engraving from the 19th century book Vies des Savants Illustres

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Gerolamo Cardano, the renowned Italian mathematician and physician. Cardano, also known as Jerome Cardan, left an indelible mark on the world of mathematics during the 16th century. His exceptional contributions to algebra earned him a place among the greatest algebraists of his time. Cardano's groundbreaking work included recognizing both negative and complex roots of equations, which was a significant advancement in mathematical understanding. He is particularly famous for providing a general algebraic method for solving cubic equations, now famously known as "Cardano's solution". However, his brilliance was not without controversy; he faced accusations of plagiarism from Tartaglia, although these claims have been hotly debated by scholars. The vividly colored historical artwork featured in this engraving captures the essence of Cardano's intellectual prowess and enduring legacy. It serves as a visual reminder of his invaluable contributions to mathematics and medicine. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are transported back to a time when great minds like Cardano pushed boundaries and expanded our understanding of the world around us. This remarkable image offers us a glimpse into history—a testament to one man's dedication to unraveling complex mathematical problems that continue to shape our modern world.
