Pascal's rule tells us that each entry of Pascal's triangle is the sum of the entry to its upper right and its upper left. For example, 4 choose 2 is equal to 3 choose 1 plus 3 choose 2. Here's ...

In the explainer video, material physics professor Jeremy Levy says the link with Pascal’s triangle is the astonishing part of the discovery. Jeremy Levy et al./University of Pittsburgh/Science.

Rows zero through five of Pascal’s triangle. The pattern continues on into infinity. Two of the sides are filled with 1's and all the other numbers are generated by adding the two numbers above.

It is Pascal's Triangle, the pyramid of numbers in which the series in the next line is given by adding together adjacent pairs in the line above to generate 1, 1 1, 1 2 1, 1 3 3 1, 1 4 6 4 1, and ...

The relatively simple arrangement of numbers known as Pascal’s Triangle contains many numeric patterns, such as triangle numbers, binominal coefficients, and the celebrated Fibonacci sequence. ...

Tossing 1 and 2 Coins The first thing we need to do on our quest to discover Pascal’s triangle is figure out how many possible outcomes there are when tossing 1 and 2 coins at the same time.
