Cardano’s Formula is a historical drama about Gerolamo Cardano, a brilliant 16th-century mathematician forced to confront the accusation that he stole the solution to the cubic equation. As he reflects on his breakthroughs, troubled marriage, and tumultuous rivalry with the renowned engineer Niccolò Tartaglia, a deeper obsession emerges: Cardano’s quest for immortality—and its tragic cost. Cardano’s Formula explores genius, ambition, and the price of legacy.
