Mark Kac and Stanislaw Ulam explained these concepts pretty intuitively in their beautiful book Mathematics and Logic. But, who was the first person who thought that mathematics could be explained without diagrams? Or equations?
Edit: In particular they showed on pages 58-60, without using jargon, how the idea of permutations leads to Cardano's formulas for the cubic.
