Tartaglia's Poem

Mnemonic
Tartaglia's poem is a mnemonic for the solution of the cubic equation:


 * When the cube and its things near
 * Add to a new number, discrete
 * Determine two new numbers different
 * By that one; this feat
 * Will be kept as a rule
 * Their product always equal, the same
 * To the cube of a third
 * Of the number of things named.
 * Then, generally speaking
 * The remaining amount
 * Of the cube roots subtracted
 * Will be our desired count.
