Author: A. W. F. Edwards

Pascal’s Arithmetical Triangle was named for the seventeenth-century French philosopher/mathematician Blaise Pascal, though he did not invent it. A never-ending equilateral triangle of numbers that follow the rule of adding the two numbers above to get the number below, it appears much earlier in the literature of Hindu and Arabic mathematics and continues to fascinate Western mathematicians. Two sides are comprised of “all 1s,” and because the triangle is infinite, there is no “bottom side.”

This book by A. W. F. Edwards, Professor of Biometry at the University of Cambridge, explores Pascal’s Arithmetical Triangle and the way it has been studied, enjoyed, and used by mathematicians throughout history.
