Blaise Pascal
Blaise Pascal (Clermont-Ferrand,
June 19, 1623 - Paris, August 19,
1662) was a polymath,
mathematician, physicist, catholic
theologian, philosopher and French
writer. His contributions to
mathematics and natural history
include the design and construction
of mechanical calculators,
contributions to the theory of
probability, research on fluids and
the clarification of concepts such as
pressure and vacuum. After a
profound religious experience in
1654, Pascal also devoted himself to
philosophy and theology.
Interesting aspects of
his life
His first works dealt with the natural
and applied sciences, where he made
important contributions to the
invention and subsequent
construction of mechanical
calculators, studies of the
mathematical theory of probability,
investigations on fluids and the
clarification of concepts such as
pressure and vacuum (generalizing
the work of Evangelista Torricelli). We
must also highlight his defense of the
scientific method.
Pascal helped create two large areas
of research, wrote treatises on
projective geometry and later crossed
correspondence with Pierre de
Fermat on probability theory.
Continuing with the work of Galileo
and Torricelli, in 1646 he refuted the
Aristotelian theories that insisted that
nature abhors a vacuum.
Some important
contributions to science
*Contribution to physics:
Pascal worked in hydrodynamics
and hydrostatics, focusing on the
principles of hydraulic fluids. His
inventions include the hydraulic
press and the syringe.
*Contribution to mathematics:
-Pascal's triangle:
In 1653 publishes the "Treaty of the
arithmetical triangle". Pascal's
triangle is a triangle of integers,
infinite and symmetric.
-Pascalina:
It was the first calculator that
worked based on wheels and gears.
