Two major areas where Pascal's Triangle is in Algebra and Probability.
Pierre Gassendi and Clyde Mydorge were two mathematicians that Blaise Pascal stayed in contact with. Their services were especially important when Pascal was in the process of creating the adding machine.
Pascal was sympathetic toward agnostics in that he did not immediately condemn them for doubt. Instead, Pascal tried to bring agnostics into the fold with a famous argument commonly called "Pascal's Wager."According to the argument he proposed, it is impossible to prove that God does or doesn't exist, but a person has nothing to lose in worshiping God; in fact, it is safer. Why? If you believe in God and there turns out not to be a God when you die, then you just die and you have lost nothing. On the other hand, if you don'tbelieve in God and it turns out that God does exist when you die, then you will go to Hell.Many atheists and agnostics (myself included) believe that Pascal's Wager falls short on two counts: a) If you believe "just to be safe," that you don't really believe in the first place and that any all-powerful, all-knowing god would see through that ruse; and b) to choose a belief system in order to avoid a fate that has no proof of existing is a foolish and fearful way to live one's life.
Blaise Pascal invented the Pascaline and Pascal's Triangle. Pascal's Triangle was a triangle, which started of with 1. The number underneath is worked out by adding the two numbers above it together. Using Pascal's Triangle, we can find many patterns, including Triangle Numbers.
