Everything about Bell polynomials

Polynomials in combinatorial mathematics

In combinatorial mathematics, the Bell polynomials, named in honor of Eric Temple Bell, are used in the study of set partitions. They are related to Stirling and Bell numbers. They also occur in many applications, such as in Faà di Bruno's formula and an explicit formula for Lagrange inversion. Wikipedia →
