How to Die Like a Mathematician
Celebrating bizarre deaths of great mathematicians
By Daniel Lee
Cardano, Girolamo (1501 - 1507)
The clock ticked
and its hand hit.
The hour of his prediction
for his time in perdition.
But, health was still with him!
No strife with death for his life;
he was full of hype!
His rep as a fortuneteller was on the line,
(though he still was a mathematical one of a kind.)
Without asking for mercy,
he lifted his glass of poison, and gulp
he had fulfill his prophecy. [1]
Galois, Évariste (1811 - 1832) was shot in the abdomen in a duel with Perscheux d'Herbinville (possible cause of duels are blindfolds of love, a scratch in his political pride, or a mess with the police)
