Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book brings to life Blaise Pascal, a mathematical and scientific genius of the 17th century. Having demonstrated an extraordinary aptitude for mathematics as a child, Pascal's precocious capabilities attracted the attention of scholars and the aristocracy, including Rene Descartes. Despite his father's efforts to encourage a broader education, Pascal's interest in science shone brightest. His early experiments on sound and geometry earned him recognition within scientific circles. The author explores Pascal's pivotal contributions to science, including his invention of an arithmetical machine and his collaboration with Torricelli on the discovery of atmospheric pressure. His legacy extends beyond mathematics and physics, with the author examining Pascal's religious beliefs and his later writings on morality that illuminated Christian thought. This book offers a detailed and engaging account of a brilliant and multifaceted mind.
