Pascal was a child prodigy who was educated by his father. His earliest work was in the natural and applied sciences where he made important contributions to the construction of mechanical calculators, the study of fluids, and clarified the concepts of pressure and vacuum by generalizing the work of Evangelista Torricelli. Pascal also wrote in defense of the scientific method. His two most famous works are the Lettres provinciales and the Pensées. Pascal suffered from ill health throughout his life and died two months after his 39th birthday. Blaise Pascal - French Mathematician and Religious Philosopher is highly recommended for those interested in learning more about this accomplished mathematician and religious philosopher.
