Welcome to the Mathematics Faculty.

 From September 2004 the Mathematics Faculty has

become part of Pascal Hall.  

Why Pascal Hall?  See below.

We hope that you find the following pages of use whilst studying at King Edward VII.  If you think we need more information that is not featured here - please click here to let us know.

The website will be regularly updated with exam information, revision and Lesson 5 work so keep visiting.

Blaise, Pascal (pictured left) was a French philosopher, mathematician and physicist, considered one of the great minds in Western intellectual history.   Pascal was born in Clermont-Ferrand on June 19, 1623 and his family settled in Paris in 1629.  Under tutelage of his father, Pascal soon proved himself a mathematical prodigy, and at the age of 16 he formulated one of the basic theorems of projective geometry known as Pascal’s theorem and described in his Essai pour les coniques  (Essay on Conics, 1639).  In 1642 he invented the first mechanical adding machine. Pascal formulated the mathematical theory of probability, which has become important in such fields as actuarial, mathematical and social statistics and as a fundamental element in the calculations of modern theoretical physics.
