What makes you think he liked to keep his methods secret?
with famous method for to achieve roots
of some types of 3-nd degree equations
until Cardano publish this secret ?
How do you connect Fermat to the solution of cubic equations?
Cardano lived in the 1500's, Fermat lived in the 1600s.
Roman actually said "as it used to be with famous method..".
So he was just drawing a parallel with those earlier results.
I'm sure I read somewhere that Fermat never published
a single proof. Maybe it wasn't so much secrecy but a
feeling shared by him and his group of correspondents
that by each pursuing problems without knowing details
of the proofs claimed by the others they would be more
likely to explore the ground more thoroughly and find
more proofs, if that makes sense.
