Pascal (French mathematician and physicist)
BlaisePascal is a French mathematician, physicist and philosopher. He has made many outstanding contributions in mathematics and physics. His achievements include inventing the first calculator, discovering Pascal's triangle and studying gas pressure. This paper will focus on Pascal's life and his contributions in mathematics and physics.

Pascal's life

Pascal was born in clermont-ferrand on 1623. His father is a French judge. Pascal showed extraordinary mathematical talent when he was a child. He published a paper on geometry at the age of 16. His father introduced mathematics and science to him when he was very young, and encouraged him to study these subjects.

Pascal invented the first calculator in 1642, which can perform basic operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. This was a very advanced technology at that time, because computers had not yet appeared at that time. This calculator laid the foundation for the later development of computer technology.

pascal's triangle

Pascal's triangle is a mathematical figure, which was discovered by Pascal. This triangle can be used to solve some complex mathematical problems, such as combination problem and probability problem. Pascal triangle consists of a series of numbers, which can be used to calculate the combination number and binomial coefficient.

atmospheric pressure

Pascal also studied the pressure of gas. He found that when a gas is compressed, its pressure will increase. He also found that when a gas is heated, its volume will increase. These discoveries have great influence on the development of modern chemistry and physics.
