Cardano's Cosmos

This biography of the astrologer Cardano (1501-1576) illustrates how overlapping the sciences were in his day, when readings of the night sky were part and parcel with medicinal theories, the study of mathematics, and the 16th century's particular brand of psychology. Additionally, Cardano drew on his gambling vice to pen one of the earliest statistical studies. Copyright (C) Muze Inc. 2005. For personal use only. All rights reserved.
