130 CHAPTER 7 The Binomial Distribution
The numbers in the triangle have applications in other areas of
mathematics such as algebra and graph theory.
It is interesting to note that Pascal included his triangle in a book he wrote
in 1653. It wasn’t printed until 1665. It is not known if Pascal developed
the triangle on his own or heard about it from someone else; however, a
similar version of the triangle was found in a Chinese manuscript written by
Chi Shi-Kie in 1303!
