Talk:Gerolamo Cardano

message: There appear to be some problems here. I refer to this document: http://arxiv.org/ftp/arxiv/papers/1308/1308.2181.pdf. As an example, it would have been difficult, to say the least, for Tartaglia to have bribed Caradno's son to appear as a witness for the prosecution in Cardano's supposed trial in 1670, given that Tartaglia died (at least according to Wikipedia) in 1557 ...  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.14.81.49 (talk) 02:47, 24 December 2013 (UTC)

message: Roger Penrose, in his book "The Road to Reality", states that in addition to the son who had his ears cropped, the son who was executed, and the son who betrayed his father, another one of Cardano's children was a prostitute who died of a social disease.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.111.38.212 (talk) 17:11, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: More on Cardano's misfortune in his children

message: Before Cardan entered the University of Pavia in 1520, he was working as an assistant under his father, from whom he also learned mathematics. Cardan then proceeded to argue with his father concerning as academic path for Cardan. Cardan won the argument and began studying medicine, once again against his father’s wishes for him to study law. (http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Cardan.html) 
As far as him not being admitted into the College of Physicians in Milan based on his illegitimate birth, the college changed its illegitimacy laws in 1537, and thereby admitted Cardan, but I do not know if he ever took advantage of this acceptance.  (http://www-history.mcs.st-and.ac.uk/Biographies/Cardan.html) 
Of his many works published, just as many if not more, were reportedly burned by him for not reaching his perfection standards.  At the time of his death, 131 of his works had been published, 111 were in manuscript form, and a total of about 170 others that were burnt by Cardan. (M. Burton, The History of Mathematics (New York: McGraw Hill, 2011)) (http://www.nndb.com/people/528/000107207/)
