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 ...
Eric Temple Bell (7 February 1883 – 21 December 1960) was a Scottish-born mathematician, educator and science fiction writer who lived in the United States for most of his life. [1] He published non-fiction using his given name and fiction as John Taine .
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 ...
God Created the Integers: The Mathematical Breakthroughs That Changed History is a 2005 anthology, edited by Stephen Hawking, of "excerpts from thirty-one of the most important works in the history of mathematics." [1] Each chapter of the work focuses on a different mathematician and begins with a biographical overview. Within each chapter ...
BetacommandBot 13:41, 9 November 2007 (UTC) I have editted this to remove rather frequently made, but unfair, criticisms of Bell. In particular the link to criticisms of his treatment of Galois is broken, and in any case Bell is frequently erroneous criticised for being the source of some very fanciful notions concerning Galois.
The permutations that avoid the generalized patterns 12-3, 32-1, 3-21, 1-32, 3-12, 21-3, and 23-1 are also counted by the Bell numbers. [4] The permutations in which every 321 pattern (without restriction on consecutive values) can be extended to a 3241 pattern are also counted by the Bell numbers. [ 5 ]

The MacTutor History of Mathematics Archive is a website maintained by John J. O'Connor and Edmund F. Robertson and hosted by the University of St Andrews in Scotland. It contains detailed biographies on many historical and contemporary mathematicians, as well as information on famous curves and various topics in the history of mathematics. [1 ...
