This is a historical introduction to the theory of Stirling numbers of the second kind S(n,k) from the point of view of analysis. We tell the story of their birth in the book of James Stirling (1730) and show how they mature in the works of…
The classical Bernoulli numbers $B_m$ can be expressed using Stirling numbers of the second kind, and M. Kaneko extended this framework by defining poly-Bernoulli numbers ${\mathbb B}_m^{(k)}$, for which explicit formulas using the Stirling…
