What did Blaise Pascal do for the field of math?

Answer 1

Blaise Pascal is well-known for laying the foundation for today's probability theory, for his work in barometric pressure, and for his theological writings. At just 18 years old in the year 1642, Pascal invented a calculator.

Answer 2

Pascal was most famous for Pascal's triangle.

He also invented the 1st mechanical calculator.

The Pascal's Triangle is a pattern where you add the adjacent numbers from the previous line.

1 1 1 1 2 1 The 2 comes from adding 1 and 1 from the above line. 1 3 3 1 The threes come from adding 1 + 2 on the left and 2+1 on the right. 1 4 6 4 1 The 4's come from adding 3+1 on the left and on the right. The 6 comes from adding 3 and 3 in the middle. This pattern continues on and on.

He figured out that the air pressure is equal to the weight of air per unit area, above the measuring point, and demonstrated it by taking measurements at different heights.

Answer 3

He was a French mathematician and philosopher. He lived June 16, 1623-August 19, 1662.
