Blaise Pascal
From the Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can change
Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) was a French mathematician whose mother died when he was 3 years old. Though best known for his works in math, including the creation of Pascal's Triangle, which is named after him, and developments in the field of probability, Pascal was also a scientist. He wrote in support of the scientific method and also contributed to physics. Later he wrote two books about Christianity.
Pascal was born in Clermont, France and died in Paris, France at 39. The reason he died is because of a malignant stomach ulcer, but he was never healthy before he died.
