yesterday a student mentioned "Tartaglia's triangle". why is it that the Italians always have weirdly different terminology/conventions to the rest of Europe
@zornsllama We call it that way in Spain. Only we pronounce "-glia", as it reads in Spanish, when it is actually "-lla".
BTW "tartaglia" means "stutterer", which is a nickname, and not a very polite one.
