Extractions: To confirm Torricelli's experiment, Blaise Pascal thought up a definitive proof, in 1648. He had a barometer carried to the top of the Puy de Dôme, in the Massif Central in France, where the level of the column of mercury fell to a few inches lower than at normal ground level. Pascal correctly interpreted this variation as a result of the lowering of air-pressure at altitude.

Tarjan has been named winner of the 2004 Blaise Pascal Medal in Mathematics and Computer Science for his contributions to computer science and for the development of fundamental computer algorithms. Tarjan, who has also received the prestigious A.M. Turing Award, is a well-known expert in the design and analysis of computer algorithms. He is the inventor or co-inventor of the most efficient known algorithms and data structures for problems in a wide variety of application areas. The Blaise Pascal Medal was established by European Academy of Sciences in 2003 to recognize an outstanding and demonstrated personal contribution to science and technology and the promotion of excellence in research and education. The academy awards medals in three fields besides mathematics: natural sciences, engineering and physics.
