Corrected the typographical error in Cesaro's original formula
Clarified the integral representation of Bell numbers
Enhanced historical understanding of Bell number formulas
Abstract
M. E. Cesaro (1885) gave a quite remarkable expression for the Bell number --the number of partitions of an n-element set -- as a definite integral. This note is an exposition, correcting a typographical error in the original.
