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 ...
I agree with Wile that the code does not add any information on Pascal's triangle. The algorithm, based on Pascal's identity is already explained in English in the lead section, and it is straightforward to translate it in a specific programming language. -- Jitse Niesen 15:23, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC) I've cut the section with the computer code.
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
The two sets of three numbers which the Star of David theorem says have equal greatest common divisors also have equal products. [1] For example, again observing that the element 84 is surrounded by, in sequence, the elements 28, 56, 126, 210, 120, 36, and again taking alternating values, we have 28×126×120 = 2 6 ×3 3 ×5×7 2 = 56×210×36.
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 ...
