Pascal

In Pascals triangle, the sum of each row is a power of 2. The first row is considered row 0. And 2 to the 0 power is 1 (this is how Pascals triangle begins). Row 1 sums up to 2 because 2 to the 1st power is 2. Row 2 sums up to 4 because 2 to the 2nd power is 4.
There are many other cool and interesting things about Pascals triangle. Pascals triangle is very interesting if you look at it diagonally. In one diagonal row the numbers increase by 1. In the next diagonal row there is a pattern such as 1, 3, 6, 10, 15. One of the coolest part of pascals triangle however is the powers of eleven. If you are in row 4, you find that 11 to the 4th power is equal to the numbers in the 4th row.
Blaise Pascal was born in 1623 and died in 1662. He was very influential because he invented an early calculator named the Pascaline. He published books on probability and theology which laid the foundation of Pascals triangle. Blaise Pascal got started on his work at a very young age. Some sources say he was involved with math meetings at the age of 12. Pascal started the "mystic hexagram" theorem which changed the view on geometry for the whole world.
