Pascal's triangle is an elegant array of numbers that has fascinated mathematicians since its invention. Its applications in algebra, number theory, and probability are well known. The use of Pascal's triangle in the classroom need not be restricted to these conventionally accepted applications. Explorations of Pascal's triangle through the use of computer programming create situations that are incredibly rich in their mathematical yield.

Pascal's triangle is well known for its numerous connections to probability theory [1], combinatorics, Euclidean geometry, fractal geometry, and many number sequences including the Fibonacci series [2,3,4]. It also has a deep connection to the base of natural logarithms, e [5]. This link to e can be used as a springboard for generating a family of related triangles that together create a rich combinatoric object.2. From Pascal to LeibnizIn Brothers [5], the author shows that the growth of Pascal's triangle is related to the limit definition of e.Specifically, we define the sequence sn; as follows [6]:

The product of the first $n$ terms of an arithmetic progression may be developed in a polynomial of $n$ terms. Each one of them presents a coefficient $C_{nk}$ that is independent from the initial term and the common difference of the progression. The most interesting point is that one may construct an "Arithmetic Triangle'', displaying these coefficients, in a similar way one does with Pascal's Triangle. Moreover, some remarkable properties, mainly concerning factorials, characterize the Triangle. Other related `triangles' -- eventually treated as matrices -- also display curious facts, in their linear \emph{modus operandi}, such as successive "descendances''.
