Pascal's triangle is well known for its numerous connections to probability theory [1], combinatorics, Euclidean geometry, fractal geometry, and many number sequences including the Fibonacci series [2,3,4]. It also has a deep connection to the base of natural logarithms, e [5]. This link to e can be used as a springboard for generating a family of related triangles that together create a rich combinatoric object.2. From Pascal to LeibnizIn Brothers [5], the author shows that the growth of Pascal's triangle is related to the limit definition of e.Specifically, we define the sequence sn; as follows [6]:

The product of the first $n$ terms of an arithmetic progression may be developed in a polynomial of $n$ terms. Each one of them presents a coefficient $C_{nk}$ that is independent from the initial term and the common difference of the progression. The most interesting point is that one may construct an "Arithmetic Triangle'', displaying these coefficients, in a similar way one does with Pascal's Triangle. Moreover, some remarkable properties, mainly concerning factorials, characterize the Triangle. Other related `triangles' -- eventually treated as matrices -- also display curious facts, in their linear \emph{modus operandi}, such as successive "descendances''.
