Blaise Paskal
Blaise Pascal was born on June 19, 1623, in Clermont-Ferrand, France, into a family of high standing. His father, Étienne Pascal, was a local judge and a respected mathematician, which likely influenced young Blaise's early exposure to mathematics and intellectual pursuits. Tragically, Blaise's mother died when he was just three years old, leaving his upbringing primarily in the hands of his father and two sisters, Gilberte and Jacqueline.
