Curso “Solvable Galois groups and radical Galois extensions: the dispute of Nicolo Tartaglia and Gerolamo Cardano”.- Lunes 24 de febrero

Sobre las matemáticas y la historia detrás de una de las "disputas matemáticas" más famosas: la de Cardano y Tartaglia en el siglo XV en torno a la resolución de las ecuaciones de tercer grado (mucho antes de que Galois resolviera completamente el problema).

Abstract: If f(X) is a cubic polynomial there exists an explicit formula for the roots found by Niccolo Tartaglia and described first by Gerolamo Cardano in his book Ars Magna (1945).

Historically, the formula for the explicit solution of the cubic equation is strongly linked to “Northern Italy” in the 15th century. The dispute of Nicolo Tartaglia and Gerolamo Cardano about the solution and in particular their publication is well known to every student in Northern Italy.
