Even Though It was only the 16th century, Blaise Pascal and Isaac Newton changed the way we see the world today in regards to mathematics and science. They turned their ideas and thoughts into realities, to help fully develop and advance themselves years ahead of their time period. The mindset of these thinkers helped them to develop some of the most elaborate theories and ideas. Isaac Newton was Instrumental in the scientific revolution of the mid-1600-1700. Along with Pascal, whose contributions were key in the early development of mathematics. Both Pascal and Newton were a controlling element in the evolution of Mathematics and Science.
It was January 4, 1643, in the small town of Woolsthorpe, England where this young thinker was born, …show more content…
He was born on June 19, 1623. Pascal was born 3rd of the four children his mother had bore. His father was a tax collector, along as a talented mathematician. When Blaise grew a little older, his father moved the whole family from Clermont-Ferrand to Paris, France in the year of 1631. Blaise neither attended a public or private school, his father decided to educate him, so he could create an unorthodox curriculum. His education mostly consisted of the learning of languages especially Latin and Greek. Mathematics were a forbidden topic in Blaise's education.T the fact it was forbidden made it, even more, interesting for Pascal. In 1640, Blaise moved yet again to Rouen, France. Blaise Pascal never went to college or got a degree, but this did not make him any less smart than the top thinkers of his time,Run on his work was actually highly respected, by big names such as Rene Descartes. Pascal helped contribute new theory and ideas to the math world along with being remembered as a great inventor and scientist. Unfortunately, Blaise started having declines in his health at a very young age. He soon died due to a stomach tumor, probably cancer, on August 19, 1662. Blaise accomplished a lot in his short life and will be remembered as a big name in the world of methodical thinkers.(Blaise
