No.23
This week, we learned an interesting math topic, the Pascal's triangle, which was named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal. However, Chinese and Indian mathematicians also found this rule decades before him. The Chinese mathematician Yang Hui was a famous guy in Song dynasty. He worked on magic squares, magic circles and binomial theorems. He was well known as the founder of the "Yang Hui's Triangle".(same as Pascal's.)

It seems like the Chinese are always a step ahead. This is very fascinating, thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteWow that's so cool that they found the triangle first. I'm also curious to how the people who made the traingle figured this stuff out
ReplyDeleteWow, it's so amazing that the ancient people can do a great job like this. It's so cool.
