What school did Omar Khayyam go to?

I dont know.lol


What contributions to society did Omar khayyam make?

Omar Khayyam, a Persian polymath from the 11th century, made significant contributions to mathematics, astronomy, and poetry. He is renowned for his work on the classification and solution of cubic equations and for his role in developing the Jalali calendar, which is more accurate than the Julian calendar. Additionally, Khayyam's poetic works, particularly the "Rubaiyat," have had a lasting cultural impact, exploring themes of existentialism, love, and the nature of life. His contributions continue to influence both scientific thought and literature today.


When did Blaise Pascal create Pascal's triangle?

The triangular array of binomial coefficients (triangle) was discussed by Persian Mathematician Al-Karaji (953-1029) and later invented and implemented by Persian Mathematician/Astronomer/Poet Omar Khayyam in the year 1070. In the 13th century, about 200 years after Khayyam's discovery, Yang Hui (1238-1298) of China "discovered it." Now almost 400 years after Omar Khayyam's discovery, a French Mathematician Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) again "supposedly discovers" this binomial triangular array, in the 17th century. So why is this triangle not called Khayyam's Triangle? I'm not sure either, even with significant evidence from Khayyam's Algebra Book. However there is your answer to when Mr. Pascal "created" it.


Omar Khayyam the Persian philosopher and mathematician created the triangle identical to Pascal's triangle I wonder if anyone is aware of that?

Yes, Omar Khayyam, a renowned Persian philosopher and mathematician from the 11th century, developed a form of what is now known as Pascal's triangle, which he used in his work on binomial coefficients. His triangle, often referred to as Khayyam's triangle, systematically arranged numbers that represent the coefficients in the expansion of binomials. This concept, although not as widely recognized as Pascal's triangle, highlights the historical contributions of Middle Eastern scholars to mathematics long before Pascal's time in the 17th century.


Why is pascal's triangle named Pascal's triangle?

Mainly for Eurocentric reasons. The triangle was well known more than 1800 years before Pascal. In Iran it is known as the Khayyam triangle (Omar Khayyam , 11-12 century); in China, it is known as Yang Hui's triangle after the Chinese mathematician from the 13th century.
