This mathematician improved Pierre de Fermat's solution to the problem of points, which determines how to decide a bet when a game cannot be completed.
This mathematician improved Pierre de Fermat's solution to the problem of points, which determines how to decide a bet when a game cannot be completed. The rule named for this mathematician adds two combinations together to equal a third combination: the two original combinations have the same first number, which is one fewer than the first number in the third combination. The arrangement named for this mathematician has diagonal sums that are Fibonacci numbers and has rows that sum to powers of two.
