	John Pell Summary
		Pell was born on March 1, 1611 (some sources say 1610) in Southwick, Sussex, England, the son of a vicar.
		Many of Pell's manuscripts fell into the hands of Richard Busby, master of Westminster School, and afterwards came into the possession of the Royal Society; they are still preserved in something like forty folio volumes, which contain, not only Pell's own memoirs, but much of his correspondence with the mathematicians of his time.
		Pell's connection with the problem simply consists of the publication of the solutions of John Wallis and Lord Brounker in his edition of Breaker's Translation of Rizonius's Algebra (1668).
