Lodovico Ferrari (1522–1565) was an Italian mathematician known primarily for his contributions to algebra. He is best known for solving the general quartic equation, a significant achievement in the history of mathematics. Ferrari was a student of Gerolamo Cardano, another prominent mathematician, and he worked on the problems of solving polynomial equations. Ferrari's work laid the groundwork for further developments in algebra and influenced many later mathematicians.
