The love of math is set into motion.
At age 13 Pascal found his love for mathematics.

Contributions to Math and Science
• 1653-1654 he wrote– Three books where Pascal laid down the principles
of differential and integral calculus– He founded the modern theory
of probability.– He started his scientific career in
Normandy, which resulted in the barometer and vacuum and pressure.

Pascal’s Triangle
A geometric arrangement of binomial coefficients in a
triangular shape.

Pascal’s Faith• His mathematics applied to
faith
• His work with probability produced what has become known as Pascal’s wager

Probability-Problem Centered Task
• The 46th Super Bowl is here and the two teams are the Colts and the Steelers. The captain of the Colts has the difficult decision of choosing heads or tails for his team. Your job as a team consultant is to guide him to the right decision.

Facilitating Questions
• Out of the 45 super bowls that have taken place what was the probability that the team will flip heads? For next years super bowl what is the probability that the team will flip heads?

probability of genotypic and phenotypic outcomes
