Pascal's triangle
This is formed by putting a 1 at the top.Then at the next level the number is the sum of the two numbers above and to the left and right.
This very simple recipe generates the combinatorial co-efficients, and also the binomial co-efficients.
It starts like this:
| 1 | |||||||
| 1 | 1 | ||||||
| 1 | 2 | 1 | |||||
| 1 | 3 | 3 | 1 | ||||
| 1 | 4 | 6 | 4 | 1 | |||
