Wie was Cardano? Girolamo Cardano (24/9/1501, Pavia - 21/9/1576, Rome) In Cardano's grote werk Ars Magna (1545) zijn we getuige van een gevecht tussen de eeuwenoude wiskundige traditie van Euclides en de arabieren en de nieuwe, nog niet uitgekristalliseerde ideeën van de zestiende eeuw. De Renaissance bracht het besef dat de toekomst niet vast ligt, maar door de mens te sturen valt. Cardano was een van de eersten die deze visie omzette in een wetenschappelijke toepassing: de kansrekening. Een eeuw vóór de vaak bekendere publicaties van Pascal, Fermat en – nog later - de Bernoulli familie. Naast Cardano’s onschatbare bijdrage aan de kansrekening – de reden voor onze onderneming de naam aan hem te verbinden – heeft hij nog een bijna oneindig aantal wetenschappelijke vindingen geproduceerd. Tot de omvangrijke lijst van wiskundige, natuurkundige en medische vindingen behoort onder andere de Cardanusring (Cardanus is de latijnse naam voor Cardano), die als stabiliserende constructie kompassen en andere instrumenten van dienst is. Om deze stabiliserende functie is dit instrument symbolisch verwerkt in het logo van Cardano Risk Management.

Who was Cardano? Girolamo Cardano (Pavia, 24 September 1501, Rome, 21 September 1576) In Ars Magna (1545), Cardano's magnum opus, we bear witness to a contest between the age-old mathematical traditions of Euclid and the Arab world and the new ideas percolating through the sixteenth century. The Renaissance introduced the idea that the future is not cast in stone, but can be shaped by humankind. Cardano was one of the first to translate this concept into a mathematical application: probability. A century before the generally more widely known publications by Pascal, Fermat and, later still, the Bernoulli family. Apart from Cardano's invaluable contribution to probability - the reason why our organisation adopted his name - he also made a great number of other scientific discoveries. His legacy of findings in the fields of mathematics, physics and medicine include the Ring of Cardanus (Cardanus being the Latin version of Cardano), which is a construction serving to stabilise compasses and other instruments. It is because of this stabilising function that this instrument features in the logo of Cardano Risk Management. Thanks to his autobiography, we know more about Cardano than about most of his contemporaries. Cardano was the illegitimate son of lawyer Fazio Cardano and his mistress Chiara Micheri. Fazio was well into his fifties at the time; Chiara was a widow in her thirties and already mother of three at the time of Girolamo's birth. Her happiness was short lived after Girolamo's half-siblings died when the plague hit Milan. In addition to law, Fazio Cardano also practised mathematics and he was a close friend of Leonardo da Vinci. A number of years later, Fazio and Chiara married.

Visit the Molecular Expressions Website Galleria Photo Gallery ... Home Girolamo Cardano Girolamo Cardano was a sixteenth century mathematician and physician who made an important adaptation to the design of the camera obscura. He was born on September 24, 1501 in Pavia, Italy, the illegitimate son of a prominent lawyer. He was sickly and impoverished in his youth, but managed to receive an education at universities in Pavia and Padua. He was refused admittance to the College of Physicians at Milan due to his heritage, but was awarded a degree in medicine in 1524 from the University of Padua. Cardano received an appointment as mathematics chair at Milan in 1532, but continued to practice medicine. He gained a reputation for disagreeing with contemporary medical practices, but was eventually accepted into the school that had previously rejected him and much later was appointed rector of the college. Cardano published a wide variety of works in the medical field, covering such diverse topics as how to teach the deaf and the blind, how to treat syphilis, and how to determine one's character based upon facial expression. Over the years, he became one of the most well known physicians in Europe and accepted a professorship in medicine at the University of Pavia in 1543. In mathematics, Cardano was equally successful. In 1539, two of his books on arithmetic were published, and, in 1545

Girolamo Cardano "Liber de Luder Alea" .1531 heiratete er Lucia Dandarini, die Tochter eines örtlichen Milizführers, mit welcher er zwei Söhne und eine Tochter zeugte. Nachdem er geraume Zeit als Arzt im Landstädtchen Sacco bei Mailand praktiziert hatte - trotz der Armut eine sehr glückliche Zeit für Cardano -, sah das Mailänder Ärztekollegium endlich über die illegitime Geburt Cardanos hinweg und nahm ihn in ihre Reihen auf, und so wurde er 1534 Arzt am Pfrundhaus und erhielt zugleich einen Lehrauftrag für Mathematik an der Mailänder Akademie. Zusätzlich unterrichtete er hier Astronomie und Griechisch. 1539 wurde die zwei Jahre zuvor geschriebene „Practica aritmetica" (Praktische Arithmetik) veröffentlicht, eines der wichtigeren mathematischen Werke Cardanos. Im Jahre 1543 wurde er Professor der Medizin in Pavia. 1545 löste Cardano einen Streit mit Niccolò Fontana aus. Nachdem Fontana nämlich seine Lösung für Gleichungen der Art x³ + ax = b und x³ = ax + b gefunden hatte, bat ihn Cardano, diese ihm mitzuteilen. Nach anfänglichem Zögern, gab Fontana Cardano die Formel in Form eines Terzetts preis. Laut Fontana musste Cardano ihm dafür allerdings schwören, die Formel niemals zu veröffentlichen, da Fontana die Gleichung vorerst zwar anwenden, aber erst später veröffentlichen wollte. Nachdem Cardano schließlich die allgemeine kubische Gleichung lösen konnte, tat er allerdings genau dies. Er veröffentlichte die Lösung sämtlicher Arten der kubischen Gleichungen in seinem Werk „Von der großen Kunst der Algebra" („Artis magnae sive de regalis algebreicis liber umos", kurz:„Ars Magna"). Außerdem erwähnte er in diesem Werk auch als Erster komplexe Zahlen und die Lösung der biquadratischen Gleichung durch

Witchcraft and the Occult, 1400-1700 Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576) Index Cardano was born in Pavia, the illegitimate son of an uneducated woman and a learned father, who was a lawyer, mathematician and friend of Leonardo da Vinci. He had an unhappy childhood in a quarrelsome household, suffering from nightmares, stuttering and impotence. He studied first at the University of Pavia and then at Padua, where he graduated in medicine in 1526. He was twice rejected on the grounds of his illegitimacy by the College of Physicians in Milan, and retaliated in his book, The Bad Practice of Medicine by Physicians (1536). This book was the start of his fame, resulting in an invitation to Scotland to treat John Hamilton, the asthmatic archbishop of Edinburgh. He was professor of medicine at Pavia from 1543 to 1560, where he was a friend of the humanist lawyer Alciati and was in contact with Vesalius His greatest work in mathematics was the Artis magnae sive de regulis algebraicis liber unus (1545), which led to a long controversy with Tartaglia, who accused him of plagiarism. He was a pioneer in probability theory, as a result of his fascination with games of chance, and wrote a celebrated

Witchcraft and the Occult, 1400-1700 Chiromancy and Girolamo Cardano anonymous woodcut of chiromantic hand from Girolamo Cardano, De rerum varietate libri XVII (Basel, 1557) Index This crude little woodcut of the palm of a right combines new anatomical nomenclature with information about the lines of the hand. Across the fingers are the Latin names, beginning with the thumb: pollex, index, medius, annularis, and auricularis. Other parts of the hand, such as the joints and locations on the palm, carry Latin transliterations of Greek terms. For example, the top joint is called metacondylus; the middle, condylus; and the lowest, procondylus. Stethos is the ball of the thumb; thenar, the space between the thumb and the index finger; and hypothenar, the ridge on the opposite side. The author cites as the source of this nomenclature the Greek physician Rufus of Ephesus. This mixture of anatomical and chiromantic terminology is characteristic of its author. Girolamo Cardano was a brilliant and flamboyant character, his life a melodrama of poor health, a troubled career, and family disasters, all compounded by political and religious instability. Analytical, eccentric, and supremely sure of himself, Cardano, at the end of his life, wrote a bizarre but still entertaining autobiography. Contemporaries admired his achievements in mathematics, medicine, and natural philosophy, all of them blended with astrology, natural magic, and divination. In 1560 the Inquisition accused Cardano of heresy; casting Christ's horoscope was especially imprudent. Cardano wrote more than two hundred works. The book in which the chiromantic diagram appears is a supplement to the first of two encyclopedic projects

Su padre era un abogado de Milán, y profesor de Geometría en la Universidad de Pavia (Leonardo da Vinci consultaba con Fazio en cuestiones de Geometría). Fazio estaba en los cincuenta cuando conoció a Chiara, una viuda de treinta, con tres hijos. Chiara quedó embarazada y como en Milán había una plaga, Fazio, la envió a un pueblo cercano a Pavia, donde nació Girolamo. Durante la plaga, murieron los tres hijos de Chiara. Chiara rompió con Fazio, pero años mas tarde se casaron. Cardano ayudaba a su padre y este le enseñaba matemáticas. Cardano convenció a su padre para que lo enviase a la Universidad de Pavia, a estudiar Medicina (su padre quería que estudiase Derecho). En esta época los ducados de la actual Italia, estaban en continuas guerras y una de ellas obligó a cerrar la Universidad de Pavia y Cardano se trasladó a la Universidad de Padua pra finalizar sus estudios. En esta época murió el padre de Cardano. Cardano era un estudiante brillante, pero era muy crítico y no era bien visto por sus compañeros.

HOME PAGE The Clock and the Mirror: Girolamo Cardano and Renaissance Medicine Nancy G. Siraisi Shopping Cart Endorsements Table of Contents Girolamo Cardano (1501-1576), renowned as a mathematician, encyclopedist, astrologer, and autobiographer, was by profession a medical practitioner. His copious writings on medicine reflect both the complexity and diversity of the Renaissance medical world and the breadth of his own interests. In this book, Nancy Siraisi draws on selected themes in Cardano's medical writings to explore in detail the relation between medicine and wider areas of Renaissance culture. Endorsements: "If one wanted to know just what effect the Renaissance had on medicine, this book would be the place to start. Nancy Siraisi proposes lucidly and elegantly her answer to this important academic puzzle. Her use of Girolamo Cardano's self-revelations makes this the liveliest of works on the famous scholar."Vivian Nutton, The Wellcome Institute for the History of Medicine "Girolamo Cardano was an idiosyncratic man in an idiosyncratic age, and Nancy Siraisi has traced the processes of accommodation between the drive for invention and the reliance on convention so prevalent to Cardano and his century. Her story of Cardano's role in the history of medicine bridges the history of the body, Renaissance occultism, and the emerging science of experimental philosophy and probabilistic knowledge. Siraisi has read Cardano with great intelligence and erudition, and is a sure guide through the paradox and particulars of his age."Mary J. Voss, Princeton University
