		Bell retired from CalTech in 1951, and died at the age of 77 in 1960.
		Bell's conviction at the time, that Fermat's unmatched insight into the character of numbers did not mislead him as to the existence of a proof, was vindicated recently when a proof was finally found.
		Bell's infectious love of number, his sense of the large sweep of mathematical history, and his generous anger at the fools and poopheads who all too densely populate that history, are his great legacy to posterity.

	Eric Temple Bell - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Eric Temple Bell (1883 - 1960) was a mathematician born in Scotland who lived in the USA from 1903 until his death.
		He attempted — not altogether successfully — to make the traditional umbral calculus (understood at that time to be the same thing as the "symbolic method" of Blissard) logically rigorous.
		He is the eponym of the Bell polynomials and the Bell numbers of combinatorics, and of the Bell series.

		The Bell numbers are named for mathematician and writer Eric Temple Bell (1883-1960) because he was one of the first to do in-depth analysis of the sequence.
		Bell was a contributor to number theory, but is better known for his many books on the History of Mathematics.

		In the pure mathematics we contemplate absolute truths which existed in the divine mind before the morning stars sang together, and which will continue to exist there when the last of their radiant host shall have fallen from heaven.
		One cannot escape the feeling that these mathematical formulas have an independent existence and an intelligence of their own, that they are wiser that we are, wiser even than their discoverers, that we get more out of them than was originally put into them.
		Quoted by ET Bell in Men of Mathematics, New York, 937.

		Very few other mathematicians come any where close to matching the significance of her work, no matter how you measure it.
		In his book, Men of Mathematics, Eric Temple Bell describes her as " the most creative abstract algebraist in the world." Many of the mathematical topics that she invented were later developed by other mathematicians into important results.
		For example, she determined an axiom system for various algebraic systems including the general theory of ideals and, apparently, she contributed a significant part of Van der Waerden's book Modern Algebra.
