    I enjoyed Pascal's triangle in 10th grade. I was finding a lot of really crazy patterns about the triangle before we learned about them as well as stuff in next year's course and I did pages of notes that were outside of the curriculum. I thought up a lot of theoretical stuff in the video and some crazy stuff that I forgot about. The school system doesn't like learning and thinking though, I thought I would impress my teacher by creating my own notes and problems that were beyond what we were learning to show my comprehension of it. I was finding ways of developing predictive patterns and structures beyond the Sirpinski Triangle. I did that instead of the assigned work, she disregarded everything and failed me. It killed my passion for math so hard that I dropped the course and took basic math courses to pass instead of AP, My once fiery passion for math is still dead to this day.

    +Verlisify I feel ya, man. In seventh grade my teacher told our class to use 22/7 for pi. I entered it into a calculator and saw that it had a repeating pattern, but I happened to know that pi doesn't repeat. I asked her and she said that 22/7 was "basically pi". So I did a little research and discovered 377/120 was more accurate. I used that on a test and missed every question involving pi. When I talked to her and pointed out my value gave a better answer, she said I was wrong solely because I hadn't done what she told me to do. So in high school and beyond, I do just enough in class to pass, but I'm always writing down ideas (series of numbers, weird ways to generate constants, etc.) in my own notebook. Fuck formal education; learn math or anything else that interests you in your own way, and don't give up on it because some asshole tries to control how you think.

    I'm in 9th grade and I'm crazy about Maths. This is the first time I actually heard about Pascal's tangle and I so desperately wanted to 'discover' a pattern on my own. I observed one after looking and thinking about it for 10 minutes, but something tells me this pattern has already been observed. Nevertheless, I'm quite proud of myself that I did this. If we look closely at the 4th diagonal-like/slant row, we can observe that the next alternate numbers in that row is the sum of the present number and the square of a natural number - the no. starts with 1 and keeps increasing for every alternate number. I'm not sure many of you understood what I told but I'll give an example : The 4th slant row is - 1,4,10,20,35,56,84,120,165,220 and so on. 10 = 1 + 3^2 20 = 4 + 4^2 35 = 10 + 5^2 56 = 20 + 6^2 84 = 35 + 7^2 120 = 56 + 8^2 165 = 84 + 9^2 220 = 120 + 10^2 ...............

    I like the geometric interpretation of a triangle in which the nth row corresponds to an n-dimensional cube. Row 0 is 1 (just a point). Row 1 is 1-1 (a line segment). Row 2 is 1-2-1 (a square, but a pair of points added on the diagonal). Row 3 is 1-3-3-1 (a cube; sliced into a point, two triangular vertex figures, and another point). This pattern continues through dimensions and actually generates n-dimensional polyhedra. Remember that diagonal that was the integers? In geometric terms, it's a point, a line, a triangle, a tetrahedron, a 5-cell, and so on.

    I've been looking online for how come I found this pattern during my computer programming, each time had something to do with binary: one with refactoring a linked list to binary search efficiency, the other time also had something to do with binary but I forgot already. It is just amazing how frequently I find myself running into these patterns of numbers.

    We know that numbers in the Pascal's triangle corresponds to the coefficients of (x+y) raised to the power of the row number-aka the "binomial coefficients" (see 1:06). However, what's really amazing is that a recent paper has used this as a test for prime numbers. The test is simple: if all the coefficients that are more than 1 are divisible by the power, the power is prime. For example, raising to a power of 2 gives us: 1, 2, 1. 2 is divisible by 2. So 2 is prime. Raising to a power of 3 gives us: 1, 3, 3, 1. 3 is divisible by 3. So 3 is prime. Raising to a power of 4 gives us: 1, 4, 6 ,4 1. 6 is NOT divisible by 4. So 4 is not prime. Raising to a power of 5 gives us: 1, 5, 10, 5, 1. 5 and 10 are both divisible by 5. So 5 is prime. And the list goes on... ;) This test is known as the AKS primality test.

    That has been proven, yes, but what the AKS test is the first one that satisfies all of these: polynomial, deterministic, unconditional and global :) it leverages on the combination components logic, but the original intuition you have mentioned was not proven as useful tool to check of primality until the paper was published.

    Pascal's triangle cal also be used for set theory, more specifically union sets nCr can yield two things. The first being the expansion equation for the union of infinitely many sets.That's, nCr specifically provides the alternative negative and positive intersect sets. Eg. (AUBUC) =A + B + C - (AnB + AnC + BnC) - AnBnC. .. which also lends itself to prob. theory. The second is, the P(AuBuC) = P(A) + P(B) + P(C) - P(AnB) - P(AnC) - P(BnC) + P(AnBnC). I'm still learning and working on the Statistical applications which uses Pascal's Triangle.

    everything you mentioned can be explained like this since it represents the binomial coefficients of (x+y) ^n 1) now let x=y=1 which makes it 2^n so if you add all numbers in a line you will end up with a number that can be represented as 2^n 2)let x=10 and y=1 =>every time x being raised it represents the decimal position while every time y is raised it just corresponds to 1 for example take (x+y)^2 = x^2 + 2xy + y^2 now take x=10 and y =1 (10+1)^2= 10^2 + 2*10*1 +1^2 now RHS can be written as 1(10^2) + 2(10^1) + 1(10^0) notice how the numbers in brackets represent the positional weights of our decimal system. now on LHS we have (10+1)^2=11^2 so that's why we always end up with a 11^n number 3) now the triangle can be explained like this to make a triangle with n rows (the arrangement should be as shown in the video) the number of spheres you need is sigma(n) or simply sum of n natural numbers for example for a triangle of 4 rows we need 4*(4+1)/2=10 spheres . since if we check the roots of each number inte 3rd diagonal we will find out that we are summing up the n natural numbers in this case n=position of the number in the diagonal 4) now for the part of the tetrahedron we can imagine this as the above traingles being arranged on one another in order that is always the triangle below nth triangle ( triangle of n rows) will be (n+1)th triangle (triangle of n+1 rows) we can now think this as summing up of sum of n numbers to which we can derive the formula as number of spheres reqired = 1+3+6+....+sigma(n) and if we trace back to the origins of each number in the 4th diagonal and rearrange them we will end up with such series... 5) now since we know that each row in the triangle is related to the binomial coefficients of (x+y)^n relating to binomial theorem you can tell that each number is nothing but (n-1)C(z-1) where n is the row and z is its position in that row and that is what we do to find combinations and with a little bit of more for "probability" i hope this helps someone to understand better
