“Je suis, ou ai été, un mathématicien. [...] J’ai eu 90 ans le 1er octobre 2011. Un groupe d’une trentaine d’anciens élèves, d’amis et de collègues [...] m’ont fait cadeau d’un site Internet à mon nom contenant quelques dizaines de textes que j’ai écrits, mais pas toujours publiés, sur les relations entre science, technologie et armement, la course aux armements et autres sujets analogues.”
On September 24, 1501, Italian Renaissance mathematician, physician, astrologer and gambler Gerolamo Cardano was born. He wrote more than 200 works on medicine, mathematics, physics, philosophy, religion, and music. But, he is best known for his gambling that led him to formulate elementary rules in probability, making him one of the founders of probability theory.
