Information about Blaise Pascal

Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal

In addition to being a French philosopher, physicist and mathematician, Blaise Pascal was an inventor and the father of the mechanical adding machine. Pascal also formulated the mathematical theory of probability, which is used today in statistics and actuarial professions. Pascal's theorem, one of the basic formulas in projective geometry, was developed by him when he was just 16. As a writer, Pascal urged acceptance of living a Christian life, using mathematics to assess the likelihood of happiness through religion. His use of logic in his discussions was both original and at the same time demonstrated great reverence for the topic at hand. He is still considered one of the great mystical writers in Christian Literature.
