Teaching Pascal's Triangle from a Computer Science Perspective
Skurnick, Ronald
Mathematics and Computer Education, v38 n3 p318-320 Fall 2004
Pascal's Triangle is named for the seventeenth-century French philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal (the same person for whom the computer programming language is named). Students are generally introduced to Pascal's Triangle in an algebra or precalculus class in which the Binomial Theorem is presented. This article, presents a new method for constructing Pascal's Triangle that is suitable for students in an elementary computer science class.
