The set of numbers that form Pascal's triangle were well known before Pascal. But, Pascal developed many applications of it and was the first one to organize all the information together in his Traité du triangle arithmétique (1653). The numbers originally arose from Hindu studies of binomial numbers and the study of figurate numbers. The earliest explicit depictions of a triangle of binomial coefficients occur in the 10th century in commentaries on the Chandas Shastra, a book by Pingala written between the 5th and 2nd century BC.
