The following is an APL one-liner function to visually depict Pascal's triangle: Pascal ← { ' ' @ ( 0 =⊢ ) ↑ 0 , ⍨¨ a ⌽ ¨ ⌽∊ ¨ 0 , ¨¨ a ∘ ! ¨ a ← ⌽⍳ ⍵ } ⍝ Create a one-line user function called Pascal Pascal 7 ⍝ Run function Pascal for seven rows and show the results below: 1 1 2 1 3 3 1 4 6 4 1 5 10 10 5 1 6 ...
In mathematics, Pascal's triangle is an infinite triangular array of the binomial coefficients which play a crucial role in probability theory, combinatorics, and algebra.In much of the Western world, it is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in Persia, [1] India, [2] China, Germany, and Italy.
Pascal's triangle, rows 0 through 7. The hockey stick identity confirms, for example: for n =6, r =2: 1+3+6+10+15=35. In combinatorics , the hockey-stick identity , [ 1 ] Christmas stocking identity , [ 2 ] boomerang identity , Fermat's identity or Chu's Theorem , [ 3 ] states that if n ≥ r ≥ 0 {\displaystyle n\geq r\geq 0} are integers, then
In matrix theory and combinatorics, a Pascal matrix is a matrix (possibly infinite) containing the binomial coefficients as its elements. It is thus an encoding of Pascal's triangle in matrix form. There are three natural ways to achieve this: as a lower-triangular matrix , an upper-triangular matrix , or a symmetric matrix .
In number theory, a pentatope number is a number in the fifth cell of any row of Pascal's triangle starting with the 5-term row 1 4 6 4 1, either from left to right or from right to left. It is named because it represents the number of 3-dimensional unit spheres which can be packed into a pentatope (a 4-dimensional tetrahedron ) of increasing ...
The first five layers of Pascal's 3-simplex (Pascal's pyramid). Each face (orange grid) is Pascal's 2-simplex (Pascal's triangle). Arrows show derivation of two example terms. In mathematics, Pascal's simplex is a generalisation of Pascal's triangle into arbitrary number of dimensions, based on the multinomial theorem.
Jia Xian triangle (Pascal's triangle) using rod numerals, as depicted in a publication of Zhu Shijie in 1303 AD. Yang Hui referred to Jia Xian's Shi Suo Suan Shu in the Yongle Encyclopedia Jia Xian ( simplified Chinese : 贾宪 ; traditional Chinese : 賈憲 ; pinyin : Jiǎ Xiàn ; Wade–Giles : Chia Hsien ; ca. 1010–1070) was a Chinese ...
