چکیده

We first pose a Sudoku-type puzzle, involving lattice points in Pascal’s Triangle, and lines passing through them. Then, through the use of an expanded notation for the binomial coefficient (

Pascal’s Triangle and Divisibility

In this chapter we will be investigating the intricacies of a seemingly innocuous mathematical object Pascal’s Triangle. After a brief refresher of our understanding of the triangle, we will delve into Cellular Automata as a method of building patterns, and then relate this to a specific pattern within Pascal’s Triangle. Then we shall investigate specific divisibility identities that can aid in...

Generalization of an Identity of Andrews

Abstract We consider an identity relating Fibonacci numbers to Pascal’s triangle discovered by G. E. Andrews. Several authors provided proofs of this identity, all of them rather involved or else relying on sophisticated number theoretical arguments. We not only give a simple and elementary proof, but also show the identity generalizes to arrays other than Pascal’s triangle. As an application w...

Numerical Carpets

1 June 1, 1998 Introduction It has long been known that modular arithmetic often produces interesting numerical patterns. These patterns can be made easier to comprehend and more interesting by rendering them as images with colors associated with numerical values. The example most often cited is Pascal’s Triangle, which exhibits the binomial coefficients. If you take the coefficients modulo m f...

Pascal Matrices

Every polynomial of degree n has n roots; every continuous function on [0, 1] attains its maximum; every real symmetric matrix has a complete set of orthonormal eigenvectors. “General theorems” are a big part of the mathematics we know. We can hardly resist the urge to generalize further! Remove hypotheses, make the theorem tighter and more difficult, include more functions, move into Hilbert s...

The generalization of Pascal’s triangle from algebraic point of view

In this paper we generalize Pascal’s Triangle and examine the connections between the generalized triangles and powering integers and polynomials respectively. The interesting and really romantic Pascal’s Triangle is a favourite research field of mathematicians for a very long time. The table of binomial coefficients has been named after Blaise Pascal, a French scientist, but was known already ...
