Gerolamo Cardano (1501-1576).

Cardano was born on the 24th of September, 1501 in Pavia, Lombardy, and died on September 21, 1576 because of tuberculosis. He is the illegitimate child of Fazio Cardano , a mathematically gifted jurist, lawyer, and close personal friend of Leonardo da Vinci. Cardano claimed that his mother had attempted to abort him. Shortly before his birth, his mother had to move from Milan to Pavia to escape the Plague; her three other children died from the disease..

In 1520, Cardano entered the University of Pavia against the wish of his father, who wanted his son to undertake studies of law, but Girolamo felt more attracted to philosophy and science. During the Italian War of 1521–1526, however, the authorities in Pavia were forced to close the university in 1524. Cardano resumed his studies at the University of Padua, where he graduated with a doctorate in medicine in 1525..
