  • This was discovered by Omar Khayam.

  • @pyreneeamour You're right, pyreneeamour, in his Treatise on Demonstration of Problems of Algebra (1070), Omar Khayyam wrote on the triangular array of binomial coefficients nowadays known as Pascal's triangle. Blaise Pascal's Traité du triangle arithmétique ("Treatise on the Arithmetical Triangle") of 1653 described a convenient tabular presentation for binomial coefficients, now called Pascal's triangle.

  • @malcfifty I thought it was a chinese dude in the 1200's ?

  • @XIIxMysticxIIX It is known as Pascal's triangle in much of the Western world, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in India, Persia, China, Germany, and Italy. In 13th century, Yang Hui (1238–1298) presented the arithmetic triangle that is the same as Pascal's triangle. Pascal's triangle is called Yang Hui's triangle in China. [Source: Wikipedia].

  • @pyreneeamour THE SHOULDNT this be called omars or khayam triangle?

  • @7473302  The triangle is referred to as the Khayyam triangle in Iran.

  • all this because i wondered wether pascal was an actual name of a scientist/mathmatition, or if it was just another name my teacher made up for homework

  • Lovely representation! Mellow and educational as well! It's less important what we call this triangle and more important to wonder at it. It's DEEP and FULL of mysteries. It does, however, predate Pascal.

  • THANKYOUSSSSSSSSS!!!!! :DDD

  • wow..just wow..i couldnt believe something that looked so complicated could be totally shown to me UNDERSTANDABLY, WITHOUT WORDS, so simply as highlighting the numbers. thankyou so much. so have just saved me hours of frustration and worry!!!
