	Generating Pascals Triangle
		Pascal's Triangle is a well known mathematical pattern.
		According to Yunze He, "Pascal's" triangle was first developed during the Song Dynasty by a mathematician named Hue Yang.
		The simplest view of Pascal's Triangle is that it may be generated by affixing a one a either end of the new row and then generating all numbers in between by by adding together the two numbers above it.

	Pascals triangle - Hutchinson encyclopedia article about Pascals triangle (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		In Pascal's triangle, each number is the sum of the two numbers immediately above it, left and right – for example, 2 is the sum of 1 and 1, and 4 is the sum of 3 and 1.
		It is named after French mathematician Blaise Pascal, who used it in his study of probability.
		When plotted at equal distances along a horizontal axis, the numbers in the rows give the binomial probability distribution (with equal probability of success and failure) of an event, such as the result of tossing a coin.

	All You Ever Wanted to Know About Pascal's Triangle and more
		Pascal's Triangle was originally developed by the ancient Chinese, but Blaise Pascal was the first person to discover the importance of all of the patterns it contained.
		A number in the triangle can also be found by nCr (n Choose r) where n is the number of the row and r is the element in that row.
		When all the odd numbers (numbers not divisible by 2) in Pascal's Triangle are filled in (fl) and the rest (the evens) are left blank (white), the recursive Sierpinski Triangle fractal is revealed (see figure at near right), showing yet another pattern in Pascal's Triangle.

		Pascal's Triangle is an arithmetical triangle you can use for some neat things in mathematics.
		The other main area where Pascal's Triangle shows up is in Probability, where it can be used to find Combinations.
		In about 1654 Blaise Pascal started to investigate the chances of getting different values for rolls of the dice, and his discussions with Pierre de Fermat are usually considered to have laid the foundation for the theory of probability.

	BBC - h2g2 - Pascals Triangle
		In 1653, a french mathematician named Blaise Pascal described a triangular arrangement of numbers corresponding to the probabilities involved in flipping coins, or equivalently the number of ways to choose n objects from a group of m indistinguishable objects.
		One way of seeing some of these patterns is to pick a number x and color all numbers in the triangle that are evenly divisible by x with one color, and all the other numbers in the triangle with a second color.
		To see as much of the pattern as possible, you need to be able to see as many rows of the triangle as possible, but coloring a large number of rows like this by hand is very boring and time consuming.

		Amplitude is the maximal displacement of particles of matter that is obtained in compressions, where the particles of matter move towards each other and pressure increases the most and in rarefactions, where the pressure lessens the most.
		While the pressure can be measured in pascals, the amplitude is more often referred to as sound pressure level and measured in decibels, or dBSPL, sometimes written as dBspl or dB(SPL).
		In fact, most sound waves consist of multiple overtones or harmonics and any sound can be thought of as being composed of sine waves (see additive synthesis).
