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.[3]
The rows of Pascal's triangle are conventionally enumerated starting with row at the top (the 0th row).
The entries in each row are numbered from the left beginning with and are usually staggered relative to the numbers in the adjacent rows. The triangle may be constructed in the following manner: In row 0 (the topmost row), there is a unique nonzero entry 1.
Each entry of each subsequent row is constructed by adding the number above a
