The infant William was baptised on 26 April 1564 in the parish church Holy Trinity of Stratford upon Avon.

Pascal decided to learn about geometry, a topic he had only heard of but never studied, in his spare time. By age thirteen, he had proven the 32nd proposition of Euclid and discovered an error in Rene Descartes geometry. His father put Pascal’s knowledge in mathematics towards hand totaling long columns of numbers to his job.
