Brief Biographical Sketch:
I am a freshman at MIT who is planning to major in Computer Science, Data Science, and Economics. Past Classes(Clicking a class title will bring you to the course's section of the corresponding course catalog)M15573: Pretty Patterns in Pascal's Triangle in Spark 2023 (Mar. 18 - 19, 2023)
Pascal's triangle is a triangle of numbers made with a very straight-forward rule. Despite how simple it is to construct, there are many complex patterns in Pascal's triangle which are difficult to explain at first glance. However, through the lens of combinatorics, the art of counting, we can explain the presence of such patterns and prove their existence.
