Boyer's History of Mathematics, p. 312, says the following about Tartaglia, after he won a contest for solving cubic equations about the year 1541: "News of Tartaglia's triumph reached Cardan, who promptly invited the winner to his home, with a hint that he would arrange to have him meet a prospective patron. Tartaglia had been without a substantial source of support, partly perhaps because of his speech impediment. As a child he had received a sabre cut in the fall of Brescia to the French in 1512, which inparied his speech. This earned him the nickname Tartaglia, or stammerer, a name he therefore used instead of the name Niccolo Fontana that had been given him at birth." The Math Forum

Extractions: Tartaglia frente a Cardano. Se suele hacer coincidir el comienzo del álgebra moderna con la resolución de la ecuación cúbica (y cuártica también) en el Ars Magna escrita por Jerónimo Cardano (1501-1576). Sin embargo, hay que advertir inmediatamente que el descubridor original de dicha solución no era el autor, sino Niccolo Tartaglia (1500-1557), pese a que Cardano le había jurado solemnemente no desvelar el secreto pues Tartaglia esperaba publicar el resultado como culminación de su propio tratado de álgebra que estaba elaborando. Para evitar sentir una compasión excesiva por Tartaglia, hagamos notar que éste ya había publicado una traducción de Arquímedes, dejando la impresión de que el contenido era suyo propio, y más tarde, en su obra Quesiti et inventioni diverse proporciona la ley del plano inclinado obtenida a partir del trabajo anterior de Jordano Nemorario, pero sin atribuirla adecuadamente a su verdadero descubridor. De hecho, es posible que el mismo Tartaglia hallase la pista de la resolución de la ecuación cúbica de alguna fuente anterior, probablemente de un profesor de matemáticas de la universidad de Bolonia casi totalmente olvidado, Scipione del Ferro. La solución de las ecuaciones cúbica y cuártica fue probablemente la mayor aportación al álgebra desde que los babilonios habían aprendido, casi cuatro milenios antes, a completar un cuadrado para resolver ecuaciones cuadráticas. Las soluciones no tenían en realidad aplicación práctica alguna, pero las fórmulas de Tartaglia-Cardano tuvieron la virtud de estimular el desarrollo del álgebra, con un papel ciertamente relevante en el desarrollo posterior de los números complejos.

We list only a few of these here to provide some early context against which later developments can be viewed. In the 16th century, techniques and instruments for precise observation and measurement of physical quantities were well-developed. As well, we see initial ideas for capturing images directly, and recording mathematical functions in tables. These early steps comprise the beginnings of the husbandry of visualization.

Extractions: Nicolo Tartaglia was born in Brescia in 1499, the son of a humble mail rider. He was nearly killed as a teenager, when in 1512 the French captured his home town and put it to the sword. Amidst the general slaughter, the twelve year old boy was dealt horrific facial sabre wounds that cut his jaw and palate and he was left for dead. His mother's tender care ensured that the youngster did survive, but in later life Nicolo always wore a beard to camouflage his disfiguring scars and he could only speak with difficulty, hence his nickname Tartaglia, or stammerer. Tartaglia was self taught in mathematics but, having an extraordinary ability, was able to earn his living teaching at Verona and Venice. As a lowly mathematics teacher in Venice, Tartaglia gradually acquired a reputation as a promising mathematician by participating successfully in a large number of debates. The first person known to have solved cubic equations algebraically was del Ferro but he told nobody of his achievement. On his deathbed, however

Tartaglia. Nicolo Fontana était surnommé Tartaglia (le bègue) parce que, gravement blessé par l'épée d'un cavalier français, entré dans la grande église de Brescia le 19 février 1512 dans laquelle il se réfugiait avec sa mère, il lui en restait des difficultés d'élocution. (Les troupes françaises étaient menées par le terrible Gaston de Foix, surnommé "foudre d'Italie".) Niccolo qui avait alors 12 ans fut retrouvé la mâchoire fracassée. Aidé seulement par sa mère, veuve depuis 6 ans et trop pauvre pour faire appel à un médecin, il mit très longtemps avant de retrouver la parole. On raconte que le père de Niccolo (Fontana) avait engagé un professeur pour instruire son fils de 6 ans et que celui-ci arrêta les cours (-après la mort de Monsieur Fontana-) alors qu'il ne lui avait enseigné qu'un tiers de l'alphabet (de A à I). Il poursuivit seul son apprentissage. "Tout ce que je sais, je l'ai appris en travaillant sur les œuvres d'hommes défunts"

Extractions: décédé à Venise le 13 décembre 1557. Tartaglia est célèbre pour avoir donné la démonstration de la résolution des équations du troisième degré publiée par Cardan dans Ars Magna Le véritable nom de Tartaglia était Niccolo Fontana bien qu'il fut toujours connu par son surnom. Lorsque les Français mirent Brescia à sac en 1512, les soldats tuèrent son père et le laissèrent pour mort, blessé par un sabre qui lui entailla la joue et le palais. On comprend dès lors le surnom "Tartaglia" qui signifie le "Bègue". Tartaglia fut un autodidacte en mathématique mais grâce à ses dons extraordinaires il vivait en enseignant à Vérone et Venise. Le premier à avoir résolu algébrique une équation du troisième degré est del Ferro. Sur son lit de mort, il confia son "secret" à Fior, un de ses étudiants. Un concours pour résoudre les équations du troisième degré fut organisé entre Fior et Tartaglia. Ce dernier, en la remportant en 1535, fut reconnu comme l'inventeur de la formule de résolution des équations cubiques. Comme les nombres négatifs n'étaient pas utilisés, il y avait plusieurs "types" d'équations, mais Tartaglia était à même de tous les résoudre alors que Fior ne savait résoudre qu'un seul type d'équation. Tartaglia confia sa solution à Cardan sous la condition qu'il ne la publie pas. La méthode fut toutefois publiée par

So you may skip this box if you like. If you are given a cubic equation in the form of x + px + qx + r = eq. 5.3a-1 and need to solve for x , then the first thing you do is substitute variables. Everywhere you see an x in the cubic, replace it with p x = u - eq. 5.3a-2 3 When you get done squaring and cubing this expression, then substituting stuff back in and gathering like terms, you will get u + au + b = eq. 5.3a-3a where p a = q - eq. 5.3a-3b 3 and pq 2p b = r - eq. 5.3a-3c 3 27 Now compute A and B by A = eq. 5.3a-4a
