Though most BBS software had been written in BASIC or Pascal ( with some low-level routines written in assembly language ), the C language was starting to gain popularity.

Its first product was Turbo Pascal in 1983, developed by Anders Hejlsberg ( who later developed. NET and C # for Microsoft ) and before Borland acquired the product sold in Scandinavia under the name of Compas Pascal.

Blaise Pascal (; 19 June 1623 – 19 August 1662 ), was a French mathematician, physicist, inventor, writer and Christian philosopher.

Pascal was born in Clermont-Ferrand ; he lost his mother, Antoinette Begon, at the age of three.

His father, Étienne Pascal ( 1588 – 1651 ), who also had an interest in science and mathematics, was a local judge and member of the " Noblesse de Robe ".

Particularly of interest to Pascal was a work of Desargues on conic sections.

Following Desargues ' thinking, the sixteen-year-old Pascal produced, as a means of proof, a short treatise on what was called the " Mystic Hexagram ", Essai pour les coniques (" Essay on Conics ") and sent it — his first serious work of mathematics — to Père Mersenne in Paris ; it is known still today as Pascal's theorem.

The money was invested in a government bond which provided if not a lavish then certainly a comfortable income which allowed the Pascal family to move to, and enjoy, Paris.

The first known public bus line ( known as a " Carriage " at that time ) was launched by Blaise Pascal in 1662 and was quite popular until fares were increased and access to the service was restricted to high society members by regulation.

One of the main theses of casuists was the necessity to adapt the rigorous morals of the Early Fathers of Christianity to modern morals, which led in some extreme cases to justify what Innocent XI later called " laxist moral " ( i. e. justification of usury, homicide, regicide, lying through " mental reservation ", adultery and loss of virginity before marriage, etc .— all due cases registered by Pascal in the Provincial Letters ).

It was famously attacked by the Catholic and Jansenist philosopher Pascal, during the formulary controversy against the Jesuits, in his Provincial Letters as the use of rhetorics to justify moral laxity, which became identified by the public with Jesuitism ; hence the everyday use of the term to mean complex and sophistic reasoning to justify moral laxity.

More subtle is the slight over-representation of string operations, which is largely language-related: both Ada and Pascal have strings as normal variables in the language, whereas C does not, so what was simple variable assignment in reference benchmarks became buffer copy operations in the C library.

This harpsichord is the work of two celebrated makers: originally constructed by Andreas Ruckers in Antwerp ( 1646 ), it was later remodeled and expanded by Pascal Taskin in Paris ( 1780 ).

This idea was later utilized by Pascal, Leibniz, Monge and Poncelet, among others, and became known as geometric continuity and as the Law or Principle of Continuity.

The first explicit formulation of the principle of induction was given by Pascal in his Traité du triangle arithmétique ( 1665 ).

Monster was a multi-user adventure game created by Richard Skrenta for the VAX and written in VMS Pascal.

It was developed in Switzerland in the late 1970s by Niklaus Wirth, the same person who designed Pascal.

Wirth was the chief designer of the programming languages Euler, Algol W, Pascal, Modula, Modula-2, Oberon, Oberon-2, and Oberon-07.

It has its origins in correspondence discussing the mathematics of games of chance between Blaise Pascal and Pierre de Fermat in the seventeenth century, and was formalized and rendered axiomatic as a distinct branch of mathematics by Andrey Kolmogorov in the twentieth century.

A derivative known as Object Pascal designed for object-oriented programming was developed in 1985.

Pascal, named in honor of the French mathematician and philosopher Blaise Pascal, was developed by Niklaus Wirth

Lines: are important syntactic entities, unlike their status in languages patterned on C or Pascal.

UCSD introduced two features that were important improvements on the original Pascal: variable length strings, and " units " of independently compiled code ( an idea included into the then-evolving Ada programming language ).

It was important to Zola that no character should appear larger than life ; but the criticism that Zola ’ s characters are cardboard, is a substantially more damaging one which in view of the characterization of Gervaise Macquart ( L ' Assommoir ), Nana Coupeau ( Nana ), Jacques Lantier ( La Bête humaine ), Serge Mouret ( La Faute de l ' Abbé Mouret ), Jean Macquart ( La Terre ) and Pascal Rougon ( Le Docteur Pascal ), may seriously be doubted.

The operating system revamp was part of a larger movement inside Cray Research to modernize their corporate software: including rewriting their most important Fortran compiler ( cft to cft77 ) in a higher-level language ( Pascal ) with more modern optimizations and vectorizations.

Sassou Nguesso also made an important announcement at his inauguration, saying that he would set in motion an amnesty bill to pardon Pascal Lissouba, who had gone into exile after his 1997 ouster and was convicted of crimes in absentia.

La logique, ou l ' art de penser, the Logique de Port-Royal, was an important textbook on logic first published anonymously in 1662 by Antoine Arnauld and Pierre Nicole, two prominent members of the Jansenist movement ; Blaise Pascal likely contributed considerable portions of the text.

The group has given hundreds of world premieres and some of the most important composers include Thomas Adès, Louis Andriessen, Georges Aperghis, Harrison Birtwistle, Benjamin Britten, John Cage, Elliott Carter, Edison Denisov, James Dillon, Hugues Dufourt, Pascal Dusapin, Ivan Fedele, Morton Feldman, Brian Ferneyhough, Luca Francesconi, Francisco Guerrero, Sofia Gubaidulina, Jonathan Harvey, Toshio Hosokawa, Klaus Huber, Mauricio Kagel, György Kurtág, Helmut Lachenmann, György Ligeti, Bruno Maderna, Conlon Nancarrow, Roger Reynolds, Wolfgang Rihm, Giacinto Scelsi, Salvatore Sciarrino, Karlheinz Stockhausen, Iannis Xenakis.

Aphoristic collections also make up an important part of the work of some modern authors, such as Josemaría Escrivá ( compiled from other spiritual authors ), Georg Christoph Lichtenberg, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, Arthur Schopenhauer, Søren Kierkegaard, Friedrich Nietzsche, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Franz Kafka, Karl Kraus, Montaigne, La Rouchefoucauld, Stanislaw Jerzy Lec, Andrzej Majewski, Mikhail Turovsky, Antonio Porchia, Celia Green, Robert A. Heinlein, Blaise Pascal, E. M. Cioran and Oscar Wilde.

Other important early aphorists were Baltasar Gracián, François de La Rochefoucauld and Blaise Pascal.

King Eric I of Denmark went to Rome on a pilgrimage and secured two important concessions from Pope Pascal II: sainthood for his murdered brother, Saint Canute IV and the creation of an archdiocese that included all of Scandinavia.

However, JRT was very important in that it established a low price precedent ( less than $ 100 ) for a Pascal implementation.

Italian mathematician Ernesto Pascal also developed integraphs for the mechanical integration of differential equations and published details in 1914.

In 1861 Lucas approached French mathematician and collector Michel Chasles and sold him forged letters for Robert Boyle, Isaac Newton and Blaise Pascal.

The earliest extant Chinese illustration of ' Pascal's Triangle ' is from Yang's book Xiangjie Jiuzhang Suanfa ( 详解九章算法 ) of 1261 AD, in which Yang acknowledged that his method of finding square roots and cubic roots using " Yang Hui's Triangle " was invented by mathematician Jia Xian who expounded it around 1100 AD, about 500 years before Pascal.
