Playing with Pascal II
October 31, 2009Pascal’s Triangle (formal desciption): The arrangement of binomial (algebraic expression containing two terms that are not like terms) coefficients in a pattern of a triangle. Named after French mathematician Blaise Pascal, each number in the triangle is the addition of the two numbers above it. Each row in the triangle starts and ends with 1. Pascal’s triangle can be extended infinitely.
