We set for every integer $n \geqslant 0$, $$B _ { n } = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { n } S ( n , k )$$ where $S(n,k)$ denotes the number of partitions of $\llbracket 1, n \rrbracket$ into $k$ parts.
Prove the formula $$\forall n \in \mathbb { N } , \quad B _ { n + 1 } = \sum _ { k = 0 } ^ { n } \binom { n } { k } B _ { k }$$
