Pascals Triangle
|
Pascals Triangle discover patterns of multiples in Pascal's Triangle. Pascal's triangle has many secret treasures. It yields the coefficients of the binomial expansion. It can be used to predict probabilities in binomial trials. It also has some beautiful patterns to reveal.
If you were to write out many rows of Pascal's triangle and then circle the multiples of 2, you would notice a pattern. If you were to write out many rows of Pascal's triangle and then circle the multiples of 3, you would notice a different pattern was formed.
The enclosed software pascal is a software 32 bit C++ software that will help you visualize these patterns. Twenty-nine rows of the pattern will fit on the screen. You may pick an integer and the software will "mark" each position of the Pascal's triangle that is a multiple of the given number with a "@". Non-multiples will be marked with a "^".
A dos version, pascal_.exe, of this software is included for non 32 bit machines. Twenty-seven rows of text will fit on the screen. You may pick an integer and the software will "mark" each position of the Pascal's triangle that is a multiple of the given number with a "8". Non-multiples will be marked with a "-". This version is not mouse controlled.
Run the software and see the patterns for yourself. See if there are any patterns to the patterns. Compare the multiples of 2 & 3 with the multiples of 6. Pay attention to the pattern formed by prime numbers. See what you can discover.
The license of this software is Freeware, you can free download and free use this calculator software.
