episode 13: 13. The Cardano Awakens
We meet an Italian mathematician who played a huge role in Fermat and Pascal’s Unfinished Game and whose drive shaft is still in use in modern vehicles! In this episode, we’ll attempt to answer the following questions:
- Does hair really have a life of its own?
- How can you get a girl in ten…or two…days?
- What do either of these have to do with math?
