programming rules that the user must memorize‚ all ordinary arithmetic operations can be performed (Hitmill). The next innovation in computers took place in 1694 when Blaise Pascal invented the first digital calculating machine. It could only add numbers‚ which had to be entered by turning dials. It was designed to help Pascal ’s father who was a tax collector. In the early 1800’s‚ a mathematics professor named Charles Babbage designed an automatic calculation machine. It was steam powered and

“Evaluate the ways in which emotion might enhance and/or undermine reason as a Way of Knowing.” Blaise Pascal (1623-1662) once said that "The heart has its reasons of which reason knows nothing"‚ meaning that emotion is irrational and unreasonable. Emotional expression provides powerful communication between people‚ especially in the early childhood stage of our lives‚ before language even develops. A baby’s glowing smile invites love and care in its surrounding; the pounding cry of an infant can

Then‚ I will argue that Pascal was right when he stated that one must choose whether to believe in God by proving that believing in God is a forced and unavoidable belief. In arguing for Pascal’s wager‚ which I will break down into two groups of assumptions‚ I will show that believing in God is the best bet independent of the existence of God or an afterlife. In his argument‚ Pascal first compares God’s existence to infinity‚ a theoretical number that has no end. Pascal states that although infinity
