Blaise Pascal. His father, Etienne, was a tax collector and talented mathematician.Etienne moved the family to Paris in 1631. In 1640, Pascal also published his first written work, In 1646, Etienne was seriously injured in a fall that resulted in a broken hip, rendering him housebound. He made up his own terminology, not having learned official mathematical terms, and quickly managed to work out that the sum of a triangle's angles is equal to two right angles.Etienne was impressed. Pascal's inventions and discoveries have been instrumental to developments in the fields of geometry, physics and computer science, influencing 17th-century visionaries like Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz and We strive for accuracy and fairness. (German polymath William Schickard had developed and manufactured an earlier version of the calculator in 1623.) De 1654 à 1662, Pascal, pour l’essentiel, se met au service de la défense de la religion. 1 0 obj %PDF-1.5 1660 translated by W. F. Trotter.

Blaise Pascal. In 1648, by having his brother-in-law take readings of the barometric pressure at various altitudes on a mountain (Pascal was too poor of health to make the trek himself), he validated Torricelli's theory concerning the cause of barometrical variations.In the 1650s, Pascal set about trying to create a perpetual motion machine, the purpose of which was to produce more energy than it used. He was 39 years old. I, Tekst. Pensées (1660).

In 1642, inspired by the idea of making his father's job of calculating taxes easier, Pascal Pascal started work on a calculator dubbed the Pascaline. In answer to Pascal's unswerving fascination, his father permitted him to read the works of ancient Greek mathematician Euclid. The Pensées ("Thoughts") is a collection of fragments written by the French 17th-century philosopher and mathematician Blaise Pascal.Pascal's religious conversion led him into a life of asceticism, and the Pensées was in many ways his life's work. Le projet pascalien dans les Pensées Pascal … Ironically, Etienne omitted mathematics from his son's early curriculum out of concern that Pascal would become so fascinated with geometry that he wouldn’t be able to focus on classical subjects.The beginning of Pascal’s education was geared toward languages, especially Latin and Greek. Etienne also allowed Pascal to accompany him to meetings at Mersenne's Academy in Paris. <> His mother passed away when Pascal was just a toddler and he became exceptionally close to his two sisters Gilberte and Jacqueline.

Pas na zij dood, op 39-jarige leeftijd, werd deze tekst gevonden, ingenaaid in de voering van zijn jas. This discovery was the basis of the mathematical theory of probability, with Pascal's writings on the subject published posthumously.Although the specific dates are uncertain, Pascal also reportedly invented a primitive form of the wristwatch. In the process, he stumbled upon an accidental invention and in 1655 Pascal's roulette machine was born. The accident created a shift in the family's religious beliefs, as the Pascals had never fully embraced local Jesuit ideas. After Etienne's accident, he received medical visits from two brothers who were also followers of Jansenism, a particular denomination within the Catholic Church.
