Pascals Triangle

Pascal's triangle is very interesting as well as a very important math concept. The pascal triangle was named after Blaise Pascal a Frenchman, after he came up with a lot of information about this unique configuration of numbers. This triangle helps to expand equations that have higher exponents and make solving those problems much easier. This concept was not first invented by Pascal, even though the name of this triangle makes it seem like he did. Years before pascal came up with the expanded ideas of the pascal triangle, the Chinese had already been using it for a very long time. Though, Pascal did evolve the understanding of the triangle by coming up with more uses and a deeper understanding of it, earning him the title. Pascal's triangle has many different number uses, other than just helping to solve the binomials. When the rows of this triangle are added together they make the numbers 1,2,4,8,16 and 32. When written in this ascending order we can clearly see that each number is multiplied by two. For example, 1(2)=2, 2(2)=4, 4(2)=8 and so on.
