Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal

Pascal believed in a splinter group from Catholicism. Before this he was a major scientist of the time with important contributions to the study of fluids and clarified the concepts of the pressurized vacuum. 


Sample Sentences


  • Pascal was born in Clermont-Ferrand; he lost his mother, Antoinette Begon, at the age of three.
  • His father, Étienne Pascal (1588–1651), who also had an interest in science and mathematics, was a local judge and member of the "Noblesse de Robe".

Usage


Paragraph
In the first article above titled, Pascal, the author sums up Pascal's life in a short little biography. He was a great scientist of his time but also a committed religious individual who believed in Christ the Redeemer. He created such items as the first calculating machine (which would come to help the latter calculators and computers) and Pascal's Triangle. The second article focuses mainly on Pascal's Triangle in which the author points to other races (the Persians and the Chinese) knowing long before Pascal about these coefficients which are used. However, we refer to it as Pascal's triangle because he was the first one to make sense of the coefficients and write them down in one of the many books he wrote.
