GRAHAM TOMLIN: BLAISE PASCAL BIOGRAPHY
BLAISE PASCAL: THE MAN WHO MADE THE MODERN WORLD (2025)
Blaise Pascal[a] (1623 – 1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher, and Catholic writer. Pascal was a child prodigy who was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. His earliest mathematical work was on projective geometry; writing a treatise on conic sections at the age of 16. He later corresponded with Pierre de Fermat on probability theory, influencing the development of modern economics and social science. In 1642, he started work on calculating machines, establishing him as one of the first two inventors of the mechanical calculator.
