102. BLAISE PASCAL - LoveToKnow Article On BLAISE PASCAL pascal, blaise (16231662), French religious philosopher and mathematician, wasborn at Clermont Ferrand on the I9tIi of June 1623. http://45.1911encyclopedia.org/P/PA/PASCAL_BLAISE.htm

BLAISE PASCAL PASCAL, BLAISE Excluding here his scientific attainments (see below), Pascal presents himself for comment in two different lights, the second of which is, if the expression be permitted, a composite one. The first exhibits him as a man of letters, the second as a philosopher, a theologian, and simply a man, for in no one is the color of the theology and the philosophy more distinctly personal. Yet his character as a man is not very distinct. The accounts of his sister and niece have the defect of all hagiology; they are obviously written rather with a view to the ideas and the wishes of the writers than with a view to the actual and absolute personality of the subject. Except from these interesting but somewhat tainted sources, we know little or nothing about him. Hence conjecture, or at least inference, must always enter largely into any estimate of Pascal, except a purely literary one. To sum up, the Pennies are excursions into the great unknown made with a full acknowledgment of the greatness of that unknown. From the point of view that belief and knowledge, based on experience or reasoning, are separate domains with an unexplored sea between and round them, Pascal is perfectly PASARGADAE JACQUELINE PASCAL To properly cite this BLAISE PASCAL article in your work, copy the complete reference below:

Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662) Frans wiskundig genie, natuurkundige, polemist, wijsgeer en apologeet. Pascal is een christelijk denker en schrijver wiens grote aantrekkingskracht vooral ligt in zijn religieuze persoonlijkheid. Daarbij komt dat hij de gave bezat zijn religieus beleven zo direct uit te leggen dat ook wij nu nog bij het lezen worden ontroerd. Pascal is door deze existentiële houding actueel in onze tijd. Gedachten over de godsdienst. Een verkorte populaire bewerking door Sipke van der Land uit meer dan duizend gedachten van de 17 e eeuwse Franse schrijver / filosoof / wiskundige. Van Blaise Pascal is verschenen het boek in de Nederlandse taal "Gedachten" (vertaald uit het Frans van Pensées) in de uitgave van Uitgever Boom (Amsterdam), 1997. De vader van Blaise Pascal, hoofd van het gerechtshof in Clermont-Ferrand, gaf zijn post op om zijn kinderen een betere opvoeding te gunnen en vestigde zich in Parijs. Hij was zelf een groot wiskundige en zag tot zijn genoegen dat de jonge Blaise zich in snel tempo op alle gebieden van de exacte wetenschap ontwikkelde; hij verwachtte niet ten onrechte dat zijn zoon hem op het terrein van de wiskunde, maar ook op dat van de filosofie, verre zou overtreffen. Een ongeluk dat de vader overkwam, leidde tot het contact van het hele gezin met het jansenisme (al ging Blaise Pascal daartoe pas later over): twee edellieden lieten hem en al de andere familieleden de geschriften van de godgeleerde Jansenius, Arnauld en de belangrijke theoretici van deze beweging lezen.

Open Site The Open Encyclopedia Project home submit content become an editor the entire directory only in Mathematicians/Pascal,_Blaise Top Science Mathematics Mathematicians : Pascal, Blaise Biography Among the contemporaries of Descartes none displayed greater natural genius than Pascal, but his mathematical reputation rests more on what he might have done than on what he actually effected, as during a considerable part of his life he deemed it his duty to devote his whole time to religious exercises. At the age of fourteen he was admitted to the weekly meetings of Roberval, Mersenne, Mydorge, and other French geometricians; from which, ultimately, the French Academy sprung. At sixteen Pascal wrote an essay on conic sections; and in 1641, at the age of eighteen, he constructed the first arithmetical machine, an instrument which, eight years later, he further improved. His correspondence with Fermat about this time shews that he was then turning his attention to analytical geometry and physics. He repeated Torricelli's experiments, by which the pressure of the atmosphere could be estimated as a weight, and he confirmed his theory of the cause of barometrical variations by obtaining at the same instant readings at different altitudes on the hill of Puy-de-D´me. In 1650, when in the midst of these researches, Pascal suddenly abandoned his favourite pursuits to study religion, or, as he says in his Pens©es, ``contemplate the greatness and the misery of man''; and about the same time he persuaded the younger of his two sisters to enter the Port Royal society.

Pascal, Blaise (1623-1662) French mathematician, philosopher and theologian. His talents were manifold, but his main achievement was a defence of the Christian religion for those folk during his lifetime that had not been afforded the luxury of an education in classical thought. His anthropological reflections were published as Pensées in 1670.

Porträt: Pascal In Europa tobt der 30-jährige Krieg. In dieser Epoche hinein, in der sich die Naturwissenschaft im Einklang mit der Mathematik zur führenden, geistigen und geschichtlichen Macht heranbildet, wurde Blaise Pascal am 19.6.1623 in Clermont-Ferrand, im Herzen Frankreichs, geboren. Die damalige Zeit war geprägt durch die Entdeckung neuer mathematischer Theorien, wie beispielsweise der analytische Geometrie und der Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung. Die Aristotelische Philosophie verlor an Gewicht zugunsten der späten griechischen Philosophie. Schon in frühester Jugend zeigte sich die außerordentliche mathematische Begabung von Blaise, deren spontane Entfaltung auch durch den Entzug von Lehrbüchern auf die Länge nicht verhindern konnte. Er war aus eigenen Stücken, durch Bildung von Definitionen und Axiomen sowie mit Hilfe logischer Folgerungen bis zum 32.Lehrsatz der Elemente von Euklid vorgestoßen! Kennzeichnend für die Epoche war der allmähliche Durchbruch zur mathematischen Behandlung naturwissenschaftlicher Phänomene. Blaise begann früh mit Kegelschnitten zu arbeiten und 1640 gelang ihm seine erste wissenschaftliche Publikation zur sogenannten 'Pascalschen Geraden'. Aus diesem Essay entwickelte sich ein umfangreiches Werk über Kegelschnitte, daß leider verloren ging. Um seinen Vater bei den umfangreichen Berechnungen als Steuerkommissar zu helfen entwarf er eine Rechenmaschine mit der man die einfachsten Grundrechnungsarten rein mechanisch durchführen konnte. 1645 konnte diese Machine (Pascaline) erstmals zum Kauf angeboten werden.

Pascal, Blaise A francia matematikus, fizikus, filozófus. A számítástechnika történelmébe is beírta a nevét. 19 éves korában alkotta meg a számológépét édesapja munkájának megkönnyítésére. Egy programozási nyelv õrzi nevét. A matematika mellett egyéb tudományágak (aero és hidrosztatika) iránt is érdeklõdött. 1647-ben felfedezte a közlekedõedények sajátosságait. Foglalkozott a folyadékok nyomásviszonyaival, és felismerte a lehetõségét annak, hogy a barométert a magasságmérés szolgálatába állítsák. 25 éves korában egy egyházi mozgalom (a janzenista rend) tagja lett. Vitái voltak a jezsuitákkal. 1654-ben életében nagy vallási megtérés történt. Pascal maga Tûz-nek nevezte az eseményt. Ekkor felhagyott a természettudományos tevékenységével, és teológiával kezdett foglalkozni. Matematikai munkásságát csak 1658-ban kezdte újra. A sok munka felõrölte az amúgy is beteges és aszkéta életet élõ Pascal szervezetét és 1662-ben fiatalon, 39 éves korában elhunyt. Munkásságáról: Már 12 éves korában felismeri az euklideszi geometria törvényeit. 16 éves korában fogalmazta meg elsõ matematika tételét. (Kúpszeletbe irt hatszögek átellenes oldalainak metszéspontjai egy egyenesbe esnek.) Ezzel a projektív geometria történetébe írta be a nevét. Késõbb érdeklõdése a kombinatorika és a valószínûségszámítás felé fordult.

Blaise Pascal Er verband religionsphilosophisches Genie mit mathematischem Können. Der französische Religionsphilosoph, Mathematiker und Physiker wurde am 19. Juni in Clermont-Ferrand als Sohn eines Steuerfachmanns geboren. Er starb 1662. Bereits mit 16 Jahren verfaßte er eine Abhandlung über Kegelschnitte und fand dabei den bekannten Satz vom Pascalschen Sechseck. Um seinem Vater bei Steuerberechnungen zu helfen, konstruierte er die erste Rechenmaschine, nach deren Prinzip alle weiteren gebaut wurden, und entwickelte die Wahrscheinlichkeitsrechnung. Pascals Rechenmaschine, die Pascaline, verfügte - wie die Schickardsche Maschine - über zehnstufige Zahnräder (Abb. rechts). Der Zehnerübertrag wurde durch eine Klaue (c) und Mitnehmerstifte bewerkstelligt. Eine Sperrklinke (d) hielt die Zahlenwalze (f) in der Ablesestellung fest, außerdem verhinderte sie eine Linksdrehung der Walzen. Auf jeder Zahlenwalze waren zwei reihen mit Ziffern notiert. Die übereinanderstehenden Ziffern ergänzten sich zu 9 (Abb. 8(f)). Zum Subtrahieren wurde die Abdeckplatte (e) verschoben. Der ganze Mechanismus wurde mit einem Griffel bewegt. Auch die Rechenmaschine Pascals arbeitete mit Zahnrädern und - deshalb leider - niemals genau. Wieder waren es Probleme bei der Herstellung hinreichend genauer Zahnräder, die genau aufeinander passen mussten. Da die notwendige Genauigkeit der Zahnräder nicht erreicht wurde, verkanteten sie oft und sperrten sich dadurch gegenseitig. Trotzdem wurden viele Variationen der Pascaline gebaut.
