	Blaise Pascal - LoveToKnow 1911
		Then Pascal the elder was confined to the house by the consequences of an accident on the ice, and was visited by certain gentlemen of the neighbourhood who had come under the influence of Saint-Cyran and the Jansenists.
		As early as May 1648 Jacqueline Pascal was strongly drawn to Port Royal, and her brother frequently accompanied her to its church.
		Pascal solved the hitherto refractory problem of the general quadrature of the cycloid, and proposed and solved a variety of others relating to the centre of gravity of the curve and its segments, and to the volume and centre of gravity of solids of revolution generated in various ways by means of it.

	Blaise Pascal
		Blaise Pascal was the brother of Jacqueline Pascal (1625-1661).
		Computer historians recognise his contribution to their field by his construction at the age of 18 of a mechanical calculator capable of addition and subtraction (one of his original mechanical calculators is displayed at the Zwinger museum, in Dresden, Germany).
		Pascal is also known for his attack on Casuistry as a popular ethical method used by Catholic thinkers in the early modern period, (especially the Jesuits) as the mere use of complex reasoning to justify moral laxity.

		Pascal's earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the construction of mechanical calculators, the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli.
		Pascal claimed that only definitions of the first type were important to science and mathematics, arguing that those fields should adopt the philosophy of formalism as formulated by Descartes.
		Pascal's last major achievement, returning to his mechanical genius, was inaugurating perhaps the first bus line, moving passengers within Paris in a carriage with many seats.

	H-France Reviews
		Jacqueline Pascal was the youngest of three children born to Étienne Pascal and Antoinette Begon.
		Jacqueline decided that she wanted to enter the convent at some point between 1647 and 1651, first against her father’s wishes, and then against the resistance of her brother, whom she portrayed as more concerned with marriage, her dowry, and worldly affairs than she.
		Pascal’s plea of ignorance, telling Bail that she “usually [doesn’t] think about such matters,” and that she didn’t “think she [had] the right to sound out the secrets of God,” is belied by her letters that close the collection.

	Blaise Pascal Biography \| World of Mathematics
		Pascal continued to go to Paris occasionally while living in Rouen, and it was on one of these trips that he presented one of his important mathematical discoveries.
		His theorem, describing a figure known as Pascal's mystic hexagram, states that the three points of intersection of the pairs of opposite sides of a hexagon inscribed in a conic are collinear.
		Pascal's last mathematical work was on the cycloid, the curve traced by the motion of a fixed point on the circumference of a circle rolling along a straight line.

		I intended to reply to the first that you wrote me more than four months since, but my indisposition and some other things prevented me. Since then I have not been in a condition to write, either on account of my illness, for want of leisure, or for some other reason.
		For indeed, after having reflected on it carefully, I find in it only an obscurity which it would be difficult and dangerous to decide, and for myself, I suspend my judgment entirely, as much from my weakness as from my want of knowledge.

	Jacqueline Pascal
		Jacqueline Pascal was born at Clermont, the youngest child of Etienne Pascal, a minor noble and government official; her sister, Gilberte, was five years older, her brother, Blaise, not quite two years older.
		In 1656, Jacqueline's niece was cured of an eye disease after touching a relic believed to be part of Jesus' crown of thorns; the nuns of Port Royal thought this a miracle, and the archbishop of Paris agreed.
		In 1653 Jacqueline became the head-mistress of Port-Royal's boarding school for girls, and four years later she was asked to write a report on her teaching methods (it would be published in 1665, with the caution that the program might be too strict for many students).
