in #steemstem • 6 years ago

Katie Steckles, a mathematician from Manchester, wrote an interesting Christmas post about Pascal's triangle. Check it out, you will find that Pascal was not the first inventor of the triangle, that you can make Fibonacci numbers and other interesting sequences out of it. You can make it even a fractal triangle!

And of course it looks like a Christmas tree, and it has a nice feature called Christmas stocking identity.

Happy Holidays to everyone!
