Bell polynomials

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 the Faà di Bruno's formula.

For a different family of polynomials Bn(x) occasionally called Bell polynomials, see Touchard polynomials.
