Pascal

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Financial, Acronyms, Encyclopedia, Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

pascal

SI unit of pressure, equal to one newton per square metre. It replaces bars and millibars (105 Pa equals one bar). It is named after the French mathematician Blaise Pascal.

Pascal

High-level computer-programming language. Designed by Niklaus Wirth in the 1960s as an aid to teaching programming, it is still widely used as such in universities, and as a good general-purpose programming language. Most professional programmers, however, now use C or C++. Pascal was named after the 17th-century French mathematician Blaise Pascal.

The Guardian by Pater, Walter Horatio View in context
But he who dodges hospitals and jails, and walks fast crossing grave-yards, and would rather talk of operas than hell; calls Cowper, Young, Pascal, Rousseau, poor devils all of sick men; and throughout a care-free lifetime swears by Rabelais as passing wise, and therefore jolly; --not that man is fitted to sit down on tomb-stones, and break the green damp mould with unfathomably wondrous Solomon.
Moby Dick LXVIII-CXXXIV by Melville, Herman View in context
Some seconds of a Pascal or a Newton are more precious than the whole existence of a crowd of raw simpletons----"
