Blaise Pascal, 19 June 1623 – 19 August 1662
French mathematician, physicist, inventor, philosopher and Catholic writer.
Blaise Pascal was a child genius. He was educated by his father, a tax collector in Rouen. To help his father, while still a teenager, Blaise invented and built a calculating machine called « Pascaline ». Later Louis XIV gave him a royal privilege to design and manufacture calculating machines in France.
