Pascal's Triangle
Pascal's Triangle is more than just a big triangle with numbers. There are two major areas where we use Pascal's Triangle, in Algebra and Probability. It is used in Probability to find Combinations. Such as how many ways you can pick so many things out of the total given. The triangular numbers and Fibonacci numbers can be found in Pascal's Triangle. The triangular numbers are easier to find: starting with the third one on the left side go down to your right and you get 1, 3, 6, 10, etc.

Picture of the Week Pascal's Triangle

One of the most interesting numerical patterns in this world in my opinion is Pascal's Triangle. A triangle that uses geometric arangement to tell binomial coefficeints in the shape of a triangle. This triangle was named after Blaise Pascal, but this is unfair considering that others before him had studied the same patterns.Personally I can say that this triangle has came in very handy when I was learning the long division of algebraic equations..

Pascals Triangle
This triangle is known as Pascals Triangle and is a very useful tool in math. It uses binomial expansion and can always be depended upon to help yourself out.
