Dec. 20 Class

Today we discussed Pascal's Triangle and looked at all the interesting patterns and features it contains.

Check out this site to see some of the interesting patterns: http://ptri1.tripod.com/

The most important feature for our purpose is that it can be used to expand binomials.

Handout: Pascal's Triangle
