Whose triangle is this, anyway? Have you ever seen the triangular pattern of numbers (above) named after the famous French mathematican Blaise Pascal? Do you see the pattern of how the numbers are placed in the triangles? Print out or copy the triangle and fill in the missing numbers. Next: check your answer here and go on to see what Pascal's Triangle has to do with Sierpinski's Triangle More Information on Pascal's Triangle Ask Dr. Math Searching for Patterns in Pascal's TriangleWith a Twist Ivars Peterson's Pascal's Fractals Spreadsheets, Pascal's Triangle, and Sierpinski's Gasket Ask Dr. Math again You may obtain a print version of this page.
