He succeeded in obtaining this information by promising, possibly under oath, not to reveal it. mboyd19 https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/220717723 http://www.encyclopedia.com/people/philosophy-and-religion/other-religious-beliefs-biographies/girolamo-cardano]]> 2018-01-11 18:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/220717723 His mastery of calculation also enabled him to solve equations above the second degree, which contemporary algebra was unable to do. For example, taking the equation that in modern notation is written 6x3 – 4x2 = 34x + 24, headded 6x3 + 20x2 to each member and obtained, after other transformations, mboyd19 https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/220720108 http://www.encyclopedia.com/people/philosophy-and-religion/other-religious-beliefs-biographies/girolamo-cardano]]> 2018-01-11 18:18:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/220720108 The greatest advantage in gambling lies in not playing at all.Girolamo Cardano mboyd19 https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/220721629 http://www.finestquotes.com/author_quotes-author-Girolamo%20Cardano-page-0.htm]]> 2018-01-11 18:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/220721629 His Ars magna (1545) contained the solution of the cubic equation mboyd19 https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/221734185 2018-01-16 15:11:43 UTC https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/221734185 mboyd19 https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/221735863 and also the solution of the quartic equation found by Cardano’s former servant, Lodovico Ferrari]]> 2018-01-16 15:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/221735863 His Liber de ludo aleae (The Book on Games of Chance) presents the first systematic computations of probabilities, a century before Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat. mboyd19 https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/221823003 2018-01-16 18:16:18 UTC https://padlet.com/mboyd19/lm73wgciwb0f/wish/221823003
