We investigate Bell polynomials, also called Touchard polynomials or exponential polynomials, by using and without using umbral calculus. We use three different formulas in order to express various known families of polynomials such as Bernoulli polynomials, poly-Bernoulli polynomials, Cauchy polynomials and falling factorials in terms of Bell polynomials and vice versa. In addition, we derive several properties of Bell polynomials along the way. Keywords Bell-polynomial umbral calculus poly-Bernoulli polynomial higher-order Bernoulli polynomial Cauchy polynomial
