Blaise Pascal
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
5 pages in length. Blaise Pascal - the only son and one of four children born to Étienne, a local judge, and a mother who would die when Blaise was only three years old – is noted as being one of history's most naturally talented individuals when it came to mathematical concepts. While many believe his "reputation rests more on what he might have done than on what he actually effected" (Ball, 1960, p. PG) because of a fixation upon religious studies, Pascal has nonetheless earned a weighty position in the annals of mathematical application. Bibliography lists 3 sources.
