Answer

Girolamo Cardano was an Italian polymath who made significant contributions in many fields including geometry, mathematics, and astronomy. In the field of geometry, he made significant contributions to the study of hypocycloids, which are curves formed by the intersection of a circle with one or more other circles. Cardano used his knowledge of hypocycloids to design the high-speed printing presses that were used to produce books and other printed materials.
