Blaise Pascal made significant contributions to physics, particularly in the field of fluid mechanics. He formulated Pascal's Law, which states that a change in pressure applied to an enclosed fluid is transmitted undiminished to all portions of the fluid. This principle is fundamental in hydraulic systems and plays a crucial role in various engineering applications. Pascal's work laid the foundation for our understanding of fluid dynamics and continues to be relevant in modern physics and engineering.
In 1642 Blaise Pascal invented the pascaline, the first adding machine using gears, to help his father calculate taxes. William Seward Burroughs invented a different kind of adding machine in 1885.
