Pascal's triangle is one of the most interesting structure in mathematics, named after the French mathematician, inventor, physicist Blaise Pascal ( 1623 - 1662 ).
The structure looks like a triangle with 1 at the top vertex and running down the two slanting sides. This array of numbers is known as Pascal's triangle.
Also known as Meru Prastara, Tartaglia's triangle ( after Nicolo Tartaglia ).
- Expansion for the higher powers of binomial are possible by using Pascal's triangle.
Example: The row for the index 5 in binomial expansion is1 5 10 10 5 1 - The sum of the numbers in each row is the power of 2.
- The numbers in each row is the power of eleven.
Example: The first row is 11 to the power 0,
2nd row the number is 11
3rd row, the number is 121
4th row, the number is 1331 etc.
