He was a really smart person, his father notice his abilities since he was little and when Pascal's mother died the whole family moved to Paris and his dad himself instruct him so he had a really good education. One of the most important influences he had was from Descartes and Montaigne.
Pascal was mathematician and philosopher, he state that the reason and faith were separate things and that God's nature is beyond our ability to understand so we are not able to prove his existence.
Pascal died when he was 39 years old, he was often really sick and he was closed to die several times.
His major writing was Pensees or thoughts and one of his more remarkable theories was Pascal Wager where he stated that it is safer to believe in the existence of God in case he does exist; if you believe in him and he does exist you'll be eternally rewarded and if he doesn't, is not that bad.
He made really important contributions to Math (now a days used in gambling), in the probability theory and he created an hydraulic press
