Blaise Pascal and His Triangle


So, I'm trying to figure out Pascal's Triangle. I don't seem to get it today, maybe because I'm sick. If you want to read about this French scientist who contributed so much to math and science back in the 1600's, read this good article about him:

and here's his triangle. Check out the article for the explanation of probabilities:

Science is fascinating. The more I study and learn, the more I believe in God and His son, Jesus Christ. Science does not disprove God anymore than my crochet shawl disproves that I exist. After all, I created it! :D
