Absolutely I know who Pascal was. I've used Pascal's triangle a lot over the years but I didn't know off the top of my head who it was who presented the religious argument (it's been 6 years since I took the History of Math class where I learned it).
And anyways, in math you don't focus on biographies of mathematicians you focus on their work.
