Extractions: Have you heard the one about the itinerant entertainer traveling with a wolf, a goat, and a basket of cabbages? The showman comes to a river and finds a small boat that holds only himself and one passenger. For obvious reasons, he can't leave the wolf alone with the goat, or the goat with the cabbages. How does he get his cargo safely to the other side? Brainteasers that involve ferrying people and their belongings across a river under trying circumstances have been around for centuries. This particular version dates back to the eighth century and the writings of Alcuin, a poet, educator, cleric, and friend of Charlemagne. In the 16th century, a more elaborate edition of this problem, proposed by Venetian mathematician Niccolo Fontana Tartaglia, featured three beautiful brides and their young, handsome, and intensely jealous husbands, who come to a river. The small boat that is to take them across holds no more than two people. To avoid any compromising situations, the crossings must be arranged so that no woman is left with a man unless her husband is also present. How many trips does it take to ferry them all across the river without igniting an angry outburst? It turns out that 11 trips are required. Five passages are needed for just two couples. With four or more couples, however, it's impossible to accomplish the crossings under the required conditions.

Extractions: Chapter 9 History of Polynomial Equations and Polynomial Equations with Degree Higher than Four One of the oldest and maybe for centuries the only area of study in Algebra had been polynomial equations. The problem was the finding of formulas that could give the roots of polynomials in relation with their coefficients. It has been found, from historical researches, that the ancient Babylonians, who created their civilization in 2000 B.C. in Mesopotamia, knew how to find the roots of 1st and 2nd degree polynomials. Also they could approximate the square roots of numbers. They formulated the problems and their solutions mostly orally. The next big step was done by the ancient Greeks. A group of mathematicians called Pythagoreans(5th century B.C.), proved that the square roots that appeared in the study of 2nd degree equations resulted to the existence of the irrational numbers. The Babylonians had already calculated that but they did not wonder if there is a rational number such that . The discovery of irrational numbers is due to the Pythagoreans. The ancient Greeks were using Geometrical designs for the solving of polynomial equations of the 1st, 2nd and 3rd degree. That is Geometrical designs made with a ruler and a pair of compasses. Traces of Algebraic representation for the solving of 2nd degree equations did not exist until 100 B.C. The mathematician Diofante in 250 B.C. introduced a form of Algebraic symbolism. The arithmetic of Diofante is for Algebra of the same importance as the elements of Euclid for Geometry. The Arabians improved Algebraic Calculus but did not manage to solve equations of the 3rd degree.

Extractions: Galois Theory Scipio del Ferro is believed to have solved the cubic equation x3 + px = q but it was not until 1545 that Girolamo Cardano published Ars Magna , which contained the solution of Niccolo Fontana (nicknamed Tartaglia). Cardano also published in Ars Magna a method, due to Ludovico Ferrari, of solving the quartic equation by reducing it to the cubic. All the formulae discovered had one striking property, which can be illustrated by Fontana's solution of The expression is built up from the coefficients p and q by repeated addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and extraction of roots. Such expressions became known as radical expressions. Since all equations of degree less than five were now solved, it was natural to ask how the quintic equation could be solved by radicals. It was not until 1824 that Abel proved conclusively that the general quintic equation could not be solved by radicals. Galois proved in 1832 that the general polynomial equation of degree five or higher could not be solved by radicals. The core of this course is a proof of this fact. Text .

Pitágoras pOR cARLOS fERNÁNDEZ (CUENQUIN) La palabra álgebra deriva del árabe Al-Jabr, que significa restauración o restitución. Es la parte de la matemática que trata de las cantidades consideradas en general, sirviéndose para representarlas de letras y otros signos. Está considerada como una generalización de la aritmética. Aunque los antiguos griegos y romanos utilizaban letras en su sistema de numeración no se puede hablar de un álgebra griega o romana, ya que las letras en estos casos representaban cantidades concretas. El álgebra comienza cuando los matemáticos se interesan por operaciones que se pueden efectuar con cualquier número, representando entonces ese "cualquier número" por una letra; en ese momento se da el paso de la aritmética, que se interesa por los números concretos, al álgebra, que se interesa por los números en general. El origen del álgebra podemos situarlo en la cultura árabe a partir del siglo IX. Los musulmanes (creyentes en el Islam) ocuparon a partir del siglo VII Mesopotamia, Irán, Palestina y Egipto, en Oriente, y posteriormente el norte de Africa: Túnez, Argelia y Marruecos.
Extractions: TARTAGLIA Y CARDANO Vamos a desarrollar la relación entre dos grandes matemáticos: TARTAGLIA Y CARDANO. Esta relación fue tortuosa y lo realizaremos a tres niveles para no cansar a los navegadores informáticos con tantas matemáticas, que por muy amenas que sean pueden resultar indigestas. Y como dice el dicho, lo bueno si es breve, es doble bueno. Aunque más de uno pensará que calificar de BUENAS a las matemáticas es estar fuera de la realidad; y es cierto, el calificativo de BUENO es demasiado poco para los beneficios que las matemáticas nos facilitan. No obstante lo dejaremos con el calificativo de BUENO para que sea mayor el consenso. Nos pasearemos primero a lo largo de la vida de Tartaglia, después conoceremos pinceladas de la vida de Cardano y en en tercer lugar detallaremos la relación matemática entre ambos que es interesante. TARTAGLIA. De este matemático conocemos detalles de su biografía gracias a unas notas autobiografícas cuya autenticidad se ha puesto en duda en varias ocasiones. Así dice no saber el apellido de su padre, pero en su testamento se declara hijo del maestro de postas Micheletto Fontana, de Brescia.

Father Occupation: Government Official His father, Michele, was a postal courier in the service of the government of Brescia. He died in 1506, leaving his family in poverty. Tartaglia was not the family name. Tartaglia took it as a nickname, which referred to his inability to talk clearly as a result of terrible wounds to his head and jaw during the sack of Brescia in 1512. 3. Nationality Birth: Italian Career: Italian Death: Italian 4. Education Schooling: No University The family was so poor that Tartaglia received no formal education. About the age of 14, he went to a Master Francesco to learn to write the alphabet; but by the time he reached "k," he was no longer able to pay the teacher. From that time he taught himself. He began his mathematical studies apparently at an abacus school at about age 15 and progressed quickly. (This information appears to be at odds with the assertion that Tartaglia was self-taught.
Extractions: Niccolò "Tartaglia" Fontana Antonionmaria Fior , Fontana zu einem Wettkampf heraus: beide sollten 30 Aufgaben stellen, die der andere innerhalb eines abgesteckten Zeitrahmens lösen musste. Fior stellte Fontana Aufgaben, die das Lösen kubischer Gleichungen voraussetzten. Diese galten damals noch allgemein als unlösbar. Lediglich Scippione del Ferro (1465-1526) hatte bereits 1512 eine Lösung gefunden und diese später Fior mitgeteilt, ohne sie jedoch weitläufig zu veröffentlichen. Fontana fand schließlich, ohne Kenntnis von Del Ferros Entdeckung, am 12. Februar 1536, kurz vor Ablauf der Frist, die Lösung der kubischen Gleichung . Noch im gleichen Jahr wurde Fontana der "Verteidigungsauftrag" der Christen gegen die Türken zugetragen, bei welchem Abschusswinkel eine möglichst weite Flugbahn für Kanonenkugeln erreicht werden könne. Er bestimmte annähernd korrekt 45° als idealen Abschusswinkel und schrieb darüber das Buch "Die neue Wissenschaft" ("La nova sciencia"). Außerdem beschäftigte er sich unter anderem noch mit der Lösung eines zahlen-theoretischen Extremwertproblems, welche ihm ohne Kenntnis der Infinitesimalrechnung gelang, der Bestimmung des Volumens eines Tetraeders bei bekannten Kantenlängen, G.F. Malfatis Dreiecksproblem und dem Pascalschen Dreieck. Ferner übersetze er klassische Werke von Euklid und Archimedes auf Latein und Italienisch (Venedig, 1543). Während seine Arbeit über die Ballistik und das Kriegswesen für die folgenden annähernd 300 Jahre maßgebend war, verwarf sich Fontana über die Lösung der kubischen Gleichung mit
