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.

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.

As you’ll recall, this triangle of numbers has a 1 in the top row and 1s along both edges, ... We keep calling this pattern “Pascal’s triangle,” but who is that?
