TY - JOUR T1 - A Conjecture concerning the Method by Which Cardan's Rules for Resolving the Cubic Equation x$^{3}$+qx=r in All Cases (or in All Magnitudes of the Known Quantities q and r) and the Cubic Equation x$^{3}$-qx=r in the First Case of It (or When r is Greater Than $\frac{2q\surd q}{3\surd 3}$, or $\frac{rr}{4}$ is Greater Than $\frac{q^{3}}{27}$) Were Probably Discovered by Scipio Ferreus, of Bononia, or Whoever Else Was the First Inventor of Them.
