Pascal's triangle was known in China during the early 11th century through the work of the Chinese mathematician [[Jia Xian]] (1010–1070). During the 13th century, [[Yang Hui]] (1238–1298) defined the triangle, and it is known as '''Yang Hui's triangle''' ({{lang-zh|s=杨辉三角|t=楊輝三角|labels=no}}) in China.<ref>Weisstein, Eric W. (2003).
