NAME

       matho-pascal - display Pascal’s triangle

SYNOPSIS

       matho-pascal [number-of-lines]

DESCRIPTION

       This  command  line  utility  is  optionally  part of the mathomatic(1)
       package.  It calculates up to 1000 lines of Pascal’s triangle,  dumping
       them to standard output.  The default is to center one screen full.

       Every  number  inside  Pascal’s  triangle is the sum of the two numbers
       immediately above it.

       Each line of Pascal’s triangle is the same as the binomial coefficients
       for a given power.

       The  sum of all numbers in each line of Pascal’s triangle is a power of
       2.
