Cubic Equations and Priority Fights

Sign up or log in to save this to your schedule, view media, leave feedback and see who's attending!

A break-out session from the history of mathematics. The controversy surrounding the historical solution of the cubic equation contains a soap-opera. The wild and wolly characters of Girolamo Cardano, Tartaglia and Ludovico Ferrari play large roles in the story of this discovery. A version of the story will be told and the cubic equation will be solved before your very eyes! A real Renaissance tragedy!
