    In July 1935, Bell signed a contract with Simon and Schuster, for a book to be titled The Lives of Mathematicians. [1] He delivered the manuscript at the beginning of November 1935 as promised, but was unhappy when the publishers made him cut about a third of it (125,000 words), and, in order to tie in with their book Men of Art (by Thomas Craven), gave it the title Men of Mathematics which he ...

  4. Bell series - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bell_series

    In mathematics, the Bell series is a formal power series used to study properties of arithmetical functions. Bell series were introduced and developed by Eric Temple Bell . Given an arithmetic function f {\displaystyle f} and a prime p {\displaystyle p} , define the formal power series f p ( x ) {\displaystyle f_{p}(x)} , called the Bell series ...

  5. Bell polynomials - Wikipedia

    Here, the fact that both x 1 and x 2 have exponent 1 indicates that there is only one such block in a given partition. The coefficient of the monomial indicates how many such partitions there are. Here, there are 3 partitions of a set with 3 elements into 2 blocks, where in each partition the elements are divided into two blocks of sizes 1 and 2.

    {1, 2, 4}, {3}. The remaining partitions of these four elements either do not have 3 in a set by itself, or they have a larger singleton set {4}, and in either case are not counted in A 3,2. In the same notation, Sun & Wu (2011) augment the triangle with another diagonal to the left of its other values, of the numbers A n,0 = 1, 0, 1, 1, 4, 11 ...

    First six summands drawn as portions of a square. The geometric series on the real line. In mathematics, the infinite series ⁠ 1 / 2 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 4 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 8 ⁠ + ⁠ 1 / 16 ⁠ + ··· is an elementary example of a geometric series that converges absolutely. The sum of the series is 1. In summation notation, this may be expressed as
