Pascal, Blaise

Y, Z, E, P, T, G, and M, the prefixes for lO and above, are capitalized, as are the symbols whose unit names have been derived from proper names, eg, N for newton (Sk Isaac Newton) and Pa for pascal (Blaise Pascal) an exception is the use of L for Hter.

Pascal, Blaise—Blaise Pascal (1623-1662), a well known mathematician, was a founder of the theory of probability. The combinatorial triangle was given his name when he published a paper compiling the previous work done by the Hindus, Chinese, and Creeks.

Pascal, Blaise (1623-1662) was born in Clermont-Ferrand, France and died in Paris. The SI unit of pressure (stress) is named after him. He argued against Descartes in favor of the existence of vacuum. 

Pascal, Blaise (1623-1662) French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher, he studied fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. 

Pascal, Blaise (1623-62) French mathematician and physicist. An infant prodigy, he had aheady made a mechanical calculating machine by 1642. in physics he formulated Pascal s law concerning fluid pressure and the principle behind the hydraulic press. The Si unit of pressure is named after him. 

Pascal, Blaise (1623-62) A French mathematician, physicist, and thinker on religion and philosophy. With help from his brother-in-law, he arranged an experiment on the Puy de Dome, a mountain in the Auvergne, and was able to show that the height of mercury in a barometer decreases with elevation. He also discovered that liquids transmit pressure in all directions. To show how columns of liquid balance one another, he designed Pascal s vases which are unusually shaped vessels but the pressure at the bottom of each when filled to the same depth is the same. The unit of pressure is named after him. He suffered ill health throughout most of his life and died at the early age of 39.
