 | | Scipione dal Ferro left behind no published writings, and were it not for papers found after his death, his role in unlocking one of the key mathematical challenges of his day might never be known. |
 | | Dal Ferro made his most important discovery some time between 1505 and 1515, but the fact that he was so secretive about it makes it difficult to pinpoint the date. |
 | | After Pacioli, with whom dal Ferro was acquainted, made his statement in 1494, there followed many years of competition between the leading mathematicians of the day, each of them eager to find a solution to the cubic equation. |
