A Pattern: Pascal's Triangle and Prime Numbers
Pascal's triangle (fig. 1) has been a rich source of patterns in mathematics. New patterns may be found if time is taken to search for them. All that is necessary is to ask the question, “What happens if …?” We asked ourselves the question, “What happens if Pascal's triangle is rewritten mod n? Are there any interesting patterns that may be observed?” The purpose of this article is to report our discussion.
