The Peculiarity of Pascal’s Triangle

Pascal’s Triangle is one of the most important treasure troves for all the mathematicians since centuries. But what’s so special about it? Isn’t it just a stack of numbers formed by the addition arranged in triangular pattern? Well no! It is much more than just addition. Let’s fully understand Pascal’s triangle. Pascal’s triangle is actually not discovered by Pascal as the name suggests. The work on Pascal’s triangle started way earlier, but the 17th-century French mathematician, Blaise Pascal, had major contribution. Pascal’s triangle was known by different names in different countries. Indian mathematicians called it the Staircase of Mount Meru. Iranians called is the Khayyam’s triangle. Chinese people called it the Yang Hui’s Triangle. But most of the western world knew it as Pascal’s triangle. Now, in almost every part of the world, Pascal’s triangle is widely used. <a href="https://medium.com/intuition/the-peculiarity-of-pascals-triangle-abaabd55a198">Website</a>
