A project for physics class.

I am so glad to meet you, mr Pascal! Could you tell me about yourself?

Of course, I was born in 1623, in Clermond, France, later moving to Paris with my father, who was a mathematician, later a tax collector. He, in fact was not intending to teach me mathematics before turning 15, however, I rebelled against his order and started learning geometry by myself at 12

That's impressive! Were your works only in the field of mathematics, thouh?

I'm glad you asked, not at all! I have contributed in physics, philosophy and theology as well, but I also invented the first mechanic calculator, the Pascaline. 

The pascaline, the first mechanical calculator, currently exhibited at Zwinger museum in Dresden, Germany 

I see, did you invent it for helping your father with his taxes?

Correct, I did. That is why there is a programming language named after me
