-'''[[Pascal's triangle]]''' is a geometric arrangement of the [[binomial coefficient]]s in a [[triangle]]. It is named after [[Blaise Pascal]] in much of the western world, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in [[History of India|India]], [[History of Iran|Persia]], [[China]], and [[Italy]].
-The rows of Pascal's triangle are conventionally enumerated starting with row zero, and the numbers in odd rows are usually staggered relative to the numbers in even rows. A simple construction of the triangle proceeds in the following manner. On the zeroth row, write only the number 1. Then, to construct the elements of following rows, add the number directly above and to the left with the number directly above and to the right to find the new value. The above animation shows the procedure for doing this for the first 5 rows.
