Pascal, although he is attributed with being the first one to publish
the information known about the triangle in his treatise, Trait´e du triangle
arithm´etique. The numbers originally arose from Indian studies
of combinatorics and the Greeks interest in figurate numbers. These
numbers were continually discussed by Islamic mathematicians during
the 10th century and in the 11th century by a Persian poet named
Omar Khayyam. They were also seen in China during the 13th century.
The Pascal’s triangle was officially published in Pascal’s treatise
soon after his death in 1665.
This triangle arises in many areas of mathematics such as algebra,
probability, and combinatorics. We were motivated by the Pascal’s
triangle prominence in the field of mathematics and its many applications,
in particular Pascal matrices. We wanted to further our studies
to consider the various properties and unique connections that Pascal
matrices has to other functions and number sequences.
