built 617 days ago
Although Pascal was not the first to study the Pascal triangle, his work on the topic was the most important to date. His work on the binomial coefficients was to lead Newton to his discovery of the general binomial theorem for fractional and negative powers.

As stated looking closer at the triangle Pascal was able to deduce many properties. First of all, the enteries in any row of the triangle are an equal distance from each other.

In 1650, suffering from frail health, Pascal retired from mathematics. However, in 1653, his health recovered and he wrote Traité du triangle arithmétique in which he described the "arithmetical triangle" that bears his name.
