书籍简介

“这项研究是对原始资料进行细致研究的成果，是一部完整的算术三角形历史著作。” — 计算数学

帕斯卡算术三角形以 17 世纪法国哲学家/数学家布莱斯·帕斯卡命名，但他并不是它的发明者。它是一个无穷无尽的等边数字三角形，遵循将上面的两个数字相加得到数字的规则，它早在印度和阿拉伯数学文献中就出现了，并且一直让西方数学家着迷。两条边都由“全 1”组成，而且由于三角形是无限的，所以没有“底边”。这本书由剑桥大学生物统计学教授 A. W. F. Edwards 撰写，探讨了帕斯卡算术三角形以及历史上数学家对它的研究、欣赏和使用方式。

"An impressive culmination of meticulous research into original sources, this definitive study constitutes the first full-length history of the Arithmetic Triangle." ― Mathematics of Computation 

Pascal's Arithmetical Triangle was named for the seventeenth-century French philosopher/mathematician Blaise Pascal, though he did not invent it. A never-ending equilateral triangle of numbers that follow the rule of adding the two numbers above to get the number below, it appears much earlier in the literature of Hindu and Arabic mathematics and continues to fascinate Western mathematicians. Two sides are comprised of "all 1s" and because the triangle is infinite, there is no "bottom side." This book by A. W. F. Edwards, Professor of Biometry at the University of Cambridge, explores Pascal's Arithmetical Triangle and the way it has been studied, enjoyed, and used by mathematicians throughout history.
