The mathematical theory of probability made its first great step forward when a correspondence between Pascal and Pierre de Fermat revealed that both had come to similar conclusions independently. Entropy, Huygens' Principle; the wave/particle, energy/mass, space/time, and E/B dualities; and time and all its arrows and asymmetries emerge from a common, foundational physical model. The Chaos theory is a field in mathematics theory, which studies the behaviour of dynamical systems that are highly sensitive to initial conditions, an effect which is popularly referred to as the butterfly effect.

To a single (hypothetical) principle so that every successful explanation offered a higher order of probability to the hypothesis. Lenses and Waves: Christiaan Huygens and the Mathematical Science. Solutions were found by John Wallis, Christopher Wren, Christian Huygens, and others. Pascal's scientific contributions include the principle of hydrostatics, now known as Pascal's law, which is the basis of the hydraulic press used in hydraulic brakes and other applications. 1.1 Early mathematical works; 1.2 Discovery of the rings of Saturn; 1.3 Invention of the pendulum clock; 1.4 Principles of mechanics; 1.5 Circular motion; 1.6 Wave theory of light; 1.7 Later years.
