		Cardano invented several mechanical devices including the combination lock[?], the Cardano suspension[?] consisting of three concentric rings allowing a supported compass or gyroscope to rotate freely, and the Cardan shaft[?] which allows to transmit rotary motion at various angles and is used in vehicles to this day.
		Cardano himself was accused of heresy in 1570 because he had computed and published the horoscope of Jesus Christ in 1554.

	Cardano's Cubic Craze
		Gerolamo Cardano was an influential mathematician from the early 1500’s who pioneered the theory of probability and the solution to the cubic equation.
		As a student, Cardano was frivolous and he described that "gambling was not only his favorite pastime but also his main source of income" (Ore 7), which led to "gathering notes on the subject of chance and probability" (Ore 8).
		Cardano was the first to publish the solution to the cubic equation, which revealed a controversy about who should be given credit.

	Niccolo Fontana Tartaglia
		Tartaglia was the first to apply mathematics to the investigation of the paths of cannonballs; his work was later validated by Galileo's studies on falling bodies.
		Tartaglia is perhaps best known today for his conflicts with Gerolamo Cardano.
		Cardano nagged Tartaglia into revealing his solution to some cubic equations, by promising not to publish them.

	Cardan biography
		Girolamo Cardano was the illegitimate child of Fazio Cardano and Chiara Micheria.
		In fact he had discovered in 1543 that Tartaglia was not the first to solve the cubic equation by radicals and therefore felt that he could publish despite his oath.
		Four years ago when Cardano was going to Florence and I accompanied him, we saw at Bologna Hannibal Della Nave, a clever and humane man who showed us a little book in the hand of Scipione del Ferro, his father-in-law, written a long time ago, in which that discovery was elegantly and learnedly presented.

	Newsletter 44, November 2000: History and Culture in Mathematics Education
		The fame of Gerolamo Cardano (Pavia, 1501 — Rome, 1576) is presently linked to an algebraic formula (the solution by radicals of the equations of degree 3) and a mechanical device (the Cardanic joint or suspension).
		In the final session an attempt was made to sketch a balance of Cardano’s importance both as a scientist and as a writer.
		All the speakers, however, agreed that Cardano was probably the most successful among the Renaissance writers in spreading and popularizing around Europe the most advanced scientific knowledge of his time.

	Game Report: Primero
		Cardano mentions a variation, in which you are trying to get the lowest hand rather than the highest.
		And it explains Cardano's obsession with the mean values for a good score in each hand type -- he is explaining how to calculate what to bid, given a two-card opening hand.
		Cardano instead states explicitly, "If no one bets, they are compelled to exchange one or two cards according to their judgement." So I am assuming that this is a difference between the English and Italian games.

		Many of Cardano's ideas on the laws of probabilities weren't widely recognized by the mathematics community until decades after his death.
		He wrote, "On the cast of one die, the chances are equal that a given point will turn up at least once in three throws, or again that one of three points will turn up in one throw." It turns out that these two experiments do not produce the same probabilities.
