:Why "in most of the western countries"? Are there countries where this is another Pascal? No. It's named after Blaise Pascal, period. That does not imply Pascal was the inventor, or that there are no other names. Likewise, the "triangolo di Tartaglia" is named after Niccolò Tartaglia, and no other Tartaglia (and not Pascal, obviously).

In much of the Western world, it is named after French mathematician Blaise Pascal, although other mathematicians studied it centuries before him in India,[1] Persia (Iran), China, Germany, and Italy.

::I just mean with my sentence that there are also western country as Italy for example where it's called otherwise. The triangle has many names: Staircase of Mount Meru, Khayyam triangle, Yang Hui's triangle, Tartaglia's triangle and obviously Pascal's triangle.
::I'm not able to reproduce a geographical distribution of different names: what i proposed was for sure an approximation but byfar better than the original, wrong, one. --[[User:LorenzoTa|LorenzoTa]] ([[User talk:LorenzoTa|talk]]) 08:20, 23 February 2018 (UTC)
